CAFE (Collaborative Agents for Filtering E-mails)
is a multi-agent system to collaboratively filter spam
from users’ mail stream. CAFE associates a proxy
agent with each user, and this agent represents a sort
of interface between the user’s e-mail client (i.e.
Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, etc.) and the e-mail server.
With the support of other types of agents, the proxy
agent makes a classification of new messages into
three categories: ham (good messages), spam and
spam-presumed. The system analyzes every single email
using essentially three kinds of approach: a first
approach based on the usage of an hash function, a
static approach using DNSBL (DNS-based Black Lists)
databases and a dynamic approach based on a
Bayesian algorithm.
