Research papers include experimental or theoretical, academic-style
papers on all aspects of email and spam, including but not limited to:
Techniques for stopping spam, including
Machine learning techniques

Public Key Infrastructure in an email environment

Industry papers describe products or systems (commercial or open

claiming excellent results should include good experimental or
theoretical evidence supporting the claims. Example topics include
Industry cooperation for stopping spam
