This paper presents a method to detect spam messages using the chronological characteristics of the spamming campaigns and the similarity among the spam messages’ contents which servers a single goal. A system has been built to recognize the repeated transmission of identical or near identical spam using the compact and high-performance Cuckoo filter.
