METHOD FOR FILTERING SPAM MAILS USING QUIZ MAIL BY TRANSMITTING QUIZ MAIL TO CONSIDERED AS SPAM MAIL

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for filtering spam mails using a quiz mail is provided to make a user not confirm titles and contents of the spam mails one by one by blocking the spam mail transmitted through a conventional method and filtering the spam mail disguised as a normal mail with use of the quiz mail. CONSTITUTION: It is confirmed that the received mail is a replied mail for the quiz mail. In case of not replied mail, the received mail is stored in a temporary mail database and the quiz mail is transmitted to a sender. In the case of the replied mail, it is confirmed that the received mail includes a right answer for the quiz mail(S320). If the right answer is included in the received mail, the received mail stored in the temporary mail database is transferred to a mailbox of a receiver(S340). If not, the received mail stored in the temporary mail database is removed(S350).
