A team of researchers from IBM, and Cornell University have developed a new algorithm for detecting spam in emails, called SMTP Path Analysis. The algorithm works by examining the path information (probably by looking at the Received headers), and detects patterns that are likely to be the route of a spammer.
the algorithm is not meticulous enough to efficiently catch spam on its own, but works well in combination with content filtering tools. "And it catches stuff that content filters can't,"
From New Scientist.
