            Law and Policy: Legal and policy papers

    Research papers include experimental or theoretical, academic-style
    papers on all aspects of email and spam, including but not limited to:
            Techniques for stopping spam, including
                    Machine learning techniques
                    Postage techniques (HIPs or computation,
                          possibly in response to a challenge)
                    Disposable email addresses
                Protocols for sender authentication and verification
                Digital signatures
                Proof of group membership
                Role and significance of spam as a malware vector
                Spam traceback
            New features for email systems
                    Automatic foldering

                    Advanced calendaring and scheduling
                    Digital rights management research as applied to email
                    Public Key Infrastructure in an email environment

    Industry papers describe products or systems (commercial or open

            Legal strategies for stopping spam
            The CAN-SPAM act and potential FTC regulations
            International legal approaches
            What can/should be done about Phisher scams

    In all three areas, submissions closely related to email, such as
