    The present invention relates to a method for blocking spam and reducing spam, and more particularly, to a method for blocking spam and reducing spam by paying an amount when sending mail.

     A conventional method of blocking spam and reducing spam is described with reference to FIG. 1 as follows.

The prior art has a problem that the receiver should take care of the mail sent by the sender to take care of whether or not the spam mail

The mail sent from S100 is analyzed by analyzing the image by reading the content of the mail in S200 or classified as being determined to be spam among the text contents of the mail subject.

     Meanwhile, a conventional method for blocking spam and reducing spam will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

Although the S100 sends online stamps for the mail designated as certified companies at the time of sending, it is not only limited to the private company that authenticates the mail, but also the online stamps are continuously attached even though the mail is authenticated between the sender and the recipient. Doing.

     However, in the conventional method of blocking spam and reducing spam, as the method of sending spam is becoming more intelligent, the receiver should always upgrade to a new spam analysis program in order to cope with it. Due to the complexity of the problem has been taken a lot of time.

     In addition, in the conventional system for blocking spam and reducing spam, in case of the existing system using postage mail, even though the recipient is allowed to receive the mail, the sender has to continuously send a postage stamp. Not only is there a financial benefit for the recipient mail server-side operator, but there is no economic benefit for the recipient. Moreover, even if a malicious spam fail, there is a side effect that the damage received by the recipient is not reduced by sending the spam to the recipient by paying only a small stamp value.

     An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, the step of giving a stamp (authentication code) to the sender's mail through the authentication server, the mail server of the receiver verifying the sender's stamp (authentication code), the sender The recipient consists of returning a postage stamp (authentication code) to the sender or acquiring the amount corresponding to the postage stamp (authentication code) depending on whether or not the mail was spammed. By constructing a system that can send mail without receiving a stamp (authentication code) upon re-sending, the sender must pay an amount to receive a certain amount of stamp (authentication code) for sending mail. Mails with a code) can be regarded as normal mail, minimizing unnecessary mail reception. Even if you receive spam with), you will be able to economically compensate for the time and mental losses you need to receive by receiving the charges imposed on the stamp, thus providing a way to block spam and reduce spam.

     In addition, another object of the present invention is that the sender sending the mail, but the financial loss when sending the mail, but the recipient can be restored to the loss by confirming that the normal mail, the spam mail through the effort of one authentication Can be reduced at source. In other words, spammers who cannot be recognized as normal mails by the recipient provide a way to block spam and reduce spam by overcoming financial damage and making mail difficult to send.

     In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, a spam to block spam sent from any mail server in the network (S400) equipped with a mail server (S100, S200) that allows the client to send and receive mail In the mail blocking method, spam mail blocking and spamming, including an authentication server for assigning and managing a unique key for encryption to each mail server, imposing a stamp (authentication code) value on the sender's mail, and providing a stamp (authentication code). Provides a way to reduce mail.

     In another aspect, the invention provides a step in which a recipient mail server can decrypt a stamp (authentication code) imposed on the sender mail.

Processing the stamp (authentication code) attached to the recipient's mail so that it can be returned to the sender.

Receiving a stamp (authentication code) attached to the recipient's mail provides a method for blocking spam and blocking spam characterized in that it comprises the step of obtaining.

     Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

     Referring to FIG. 1, an object of the present invention is to give a sender a stamp (authentication code) suitable for a receiver in a network (S400) equipped with a mail server (S100) allowing a sender who wants to send mail to send and receive mail. It can be achieved by the authentication server (S300), the mail receiving server (S200) with a function to check the stamp (authentication code) in the mail received from the sender

The mail sending server (S100) is a structure that is easy to receive the authentication code from the authentication server (S200), for example, it is preferable to include in the body of the mail.

The above authentication server (S300) must manage a unique key corresponding to the incoming / outgoing mail server (S100, S200), the key value is shared between the authentication server (S300) and the mail server, and the key value is between the mail server. You must manage it so that it is not made public.

The authentication server (S300) must deliver an encrypted stamp (authentication code) to the sender by a combination of a key value corresponding to the domain of the receiver requested by the sender and the e-mail id of the receiver.

The sender should send a mail including a stamp (authentication code) granted from the authentication server (S300).

The recipient mail server (S200) should be able to check the stamp received from the sender (authentication code) with the unique key value of the receiving server.

The recipient mail server (S200) should be able to check whether the sender is a pre-authenticator in the recipient's authentication DB (receive permission address book). The criterion of the preceding certifier may include a user who has a record of the sender sending the mail more than once.

The authentication server (S300) is to recover the financial loss by returning the stamp (authentication code) to the sender when the recipient requests to return the stamp (authentication code) to the sender if the recipient is a normal mail with a stamp (authentication code) In the case of spam mail, the recipient should be able to handle as much monetary compensation as the stamp value.

The above authentication server should be able to impose reusable stamps (authentication codes) on sender groups (company, organization, etc.) that do not send spam mails.

Here, the stamp means that the sender has to pay the money, and the verification code means a password consisting of a combination of numbers or letters. The authentication code can be generated from the authentication server, and the recipient mail server can generate the code in the same way and check the validity by checking whether the values are the same.

     Hereinafter, the operation and operation of the embodiment according to the present invention described above will be described in detail.

     As shown in FIG. 1, mail servers S100 and S200 capable of transmitting and receiving mail through a network S400 such as the Internet and an authentication server S300 for processing authentication are connected. The mail servers S100 and S200 and the authentication server S300 share a unique key of the mail servers S100 and S200.

In the mail server S100 desiring to send in FIG. 1, the sender requests an authentication key value from the authentication server S300 after writing a mail.

In Figure 1, the authentication server (S300) grants the sender's mail a stamp (authentication code) encrypted by the combination of the receiving mail address and the key (open only to the receiving mail server) of the receiving mail server and corresponds to the stamp (authentication code) from the sender. I charge a fee.

In FIG. 1, a sender who receives a stamp (authentication code) granted from the authentication server (S300) sends a mail to a recipient with a stamp (authentication code) attached (via contents or a tag of Html).

The receiving server S200 receiving the mail in FIG. 1 checks a stamp (authentication code) and delivers a normal mail or spam mail with a stamp attached to the recipient.

     Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

     Referring to FIG. 2, a description will be given of a method of reducing spam mails from mail sending to mail receiving.

     Hereinafter, the operation and operation of another embodiment according to the present invention described above will be described in detail.

     After completing the mail, S101 (Person with Stamp), S102 (Person with Stamp) and S103 (Pass Stamp with Stamp) that have not received stamps (Authentication Code) from S300 (Authentication Server). If the mail is sent from the individual / group), the mail is sent to S200 through S400.

S200 regards the mail with the stamp attached as a normal mail, and sends the mail to the user's normal mailbox (S202). Mail classified as normal mail is sent to the normal mail box (S202), and only the unapproved mail is sent to the spam mail box (S203).

If the recipient determines that the normal mail is attached to the stamp, the mail is returned to the certificate server (S300) through a simple button click so that the stamp can be returned to the recipient (S301). Request (S300) stamp acquisition so that the recipient can obtain a stamp (authentication code) price (S302).

    Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto.

     The method for blocking spam and reducing spam according to the present invention comprises the steps of: applying a stamp (authentication code) to the sender's mail through the authentication server, verifying the sender's stamp (authentication code) by the receiver's mail server, Receiving a stamp (authentication code) to the sender or acquiring the amount of the stamp (authentication code) to the sender according to whether the sender's mail is spammed, and receiving a response confirming that the mail is a normal mail even once. By establishing a system that allows a sender to send a mail without receiving a stamp (authentication code) when resending, the sender must pay an amount to receive a certain amount of stamp (authentication code) for sending mail. Mails with a verification code) can be regarded as normal mail, minimizing unnecessary e-mail receipts. Even if you receive a spam that has been granted an e-mail, it is possible to obtain economical compensation for the time and mental losses to be received by acquiring the charges imposed on the stamp.

     In addition, the spam block and spam reduction method according to the present invention, although the sender who sends the mail, but the financial loss when sending the mail can confirm that the recipient is a normal mail can be restored as much as the loss of a single authentication The effort required to reduce spam mails is fundamental. In other words, spammers who cannot be recognized as normal mails from the recipient are effective by overcoming financial damage and making mails difficult to send.
