- the data base may be distributed and arranged on a daily basis, or these data bases may be integrated with the mail servers 32 -A and 32 -B, respectively.
- the mail address indicating the destination of the reply mail described above is composed of the mail address of the sender of the spam mail and the default character “#” added to the head of the mail address. It is configured as a pair.
- the default character "#" is identified by the mail server as the reply mail described above, for example, it is added to the body of the reply mail or the mail address indicating the sender of the reply mail. May be done.
- the default character "#" can be reliably identified by the mail server and replaced with any character or symbol unless the mail server is unnecessarily obstructed. Or a sequence of symbols ”.
- the man-machine interface to be performed for adding the predetermined character “#” to the mail address indicating the destination of the reply mail is not described in detail.
- such a man-machine interface does not necessarily have to be performed through a dedicated operation unit (for example, a push button switch).
- a dedicated operation unit for example, a push button switch.
- an existing hardware that can edit a mail address is used. This may be achieved by utilizing hardware.
- the mail servers 32 -A and 32 -B send the mail address of the source of the “junk mail” to the database when the “return mail” described above is received. 3 The process performed to register in 1 has been started.
- the spam list 31 U and the victim list 31 S do not contain the spam addresses that indicate the source and destination of the spam to be subjected to the disposal and other measures described above, respectively.
- the information may be configured as any set of information, and both may be merged.
- the victim list 31S has a common "maximum number of mail addresses that can be registered" and corresponds to each mail address registered in the nuisance list 31U. It is configured as a set of records to be recorded.
- the victim list 31S is, for example, a predetermined area management (resource management performed by the operating system for the individual e-mail addresses registered in the spam list 31U). ) May be configured as a set of memory procedure words in which a ring is formed.
- both the source and the destination of the “junk mail” correspond to the terminal of the mobile communication system.
- these sources and destinations are not limited to mobile communication system terminals, and as long as electronic mail transmission and reception are performed via a predetermined mail server, on-board or fixed terminals (such as personal computers and Including information terminals such as PDAs.
- the communication system in which such terminals are accommodated includes any communication procedure, communication method, transmission method (transfer mode), zone configuration, channel, as long as the above-mentioned child mail can be transmitted and received. Allocation, frequency allocation, and modulation / demodulation methods may be applied.
- the terminal 36-A, 36-B, the mail server 32-A, 32-B, and the database 31 cooperate with each other as described above, so that the transmission is performed.
- the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the terminals 36-A and 36-B, the mail server 32-As32-B, and the data base 31 described above are performed as described above. processing, for example, the radio base station 3 5 -A, 3 5 -B, mobile switching 3 3 -A s 3 3 -B other "device provided in the network 3 0 (base station controller, exchange, It may be performed under load distribution or function distribution with all or a part of j. Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments, the switching method applied to the network 30 Is not specifically shown.
- such a network 30 is not limited to a message exchange network or a store-and-forward network, and may be a circuit exchange network, as long as the information necessary for the above-described processing and cooperation is reliably achieved. It may be constituted by any combination of these line systems.
- a pair of a mail address of a source and a destination of “spam mail” is simply registered automatically, and an e-mail identified based on the pair is treated as “spam mail”. I have.
- a pair of addresses registered in this manner is automatically registered as an audit target, and provided to a related organization as needed. (Including a man-machine interface) may be performed.
- the junk e-mail is sent to the junk e-mail in accordance with the criteria to be used for identifying the junk e-mail transmitted again from the common source in the form indicated by the predetermined information. Opportunities for action to be taken are surely given by the mail server.
- the second communication terminal With the second communication terminal according to the present invention, it is possible to flexibly adapt to the request of the operator who has suffered the spam mail.
- the third communication terminal according to the present invention there is no significant restriction on the format and size of information to be delivered to and from each accommodated communication terminal, and the criteria to be used for identifying spam mail At the same time, the mail server is given an opportunity to process the spam mail.
- the trigger of the action to be performed on the junk mail is based on a desired communication procedure. It is flexibly delivered to this mail server.
- the fifth communication terminal it is possible to flexibly adapt to the request of the operator who has suffered the spam mail.
- the damage that may occur when unsolicited e-mail is forwarded to the original destination without any restrictions is automatically generated. Will be blocked.
- the sender of the unsolicited mail is notified that the unsolicited email is not forwarded to the desired destination, and the load is reduced as compared with the case where the unsolicited email is simply discarded. Is achieved.
- the criteria for identifying the junk e-mails whose transfer to the destination is postponed or discarded are based on the communication terminals suffering from such junk e-mails. It is updated appropriately according to the reply mail sent by.
- the mail server accommodating the communication terminal corresponding to the transmission source of the mail server avoids unnecessary transfer of unsolicited mail to other mail servers. You.
- the service quality and reliability can be improved at low cost without any significant change in the configuration.
