Collaboration, Electronic Messaging, Anti-Abuse, and Spam Conference

"There are few things more bothersome than junk email," says conference president Gordon Cormack. Last year, spam -- roughly 90% of all emails -- cost businesses $130 billion in lost productivity, up 30% from 2007. Scientists in Redmond, Washington, will talk prevention tech, from the Bayesian filter (assigns each word a "spam score" and deletes high-score emails) to support-vector machines (homes in on specific spam triggers, such as "Viagra"). Until then, can you wire us $3,000? We're Nigerian royalty, honest. -- Dan Macsai
