| Abstract | Current email-control mechanisms, though highly effective, are pro-ne to dropping desirable messages. This can be attributed to their coarseness in filtering out undesirable messages from desirable ones. As a result policies to control undesirable messages are often overly permissive. To allow policies to be more restrictive, the transmission mechanism must be made aware of the ways to document a message so that it is acceptable downstream, thus giving the senders a chance of meeting those requirements. In this work, we design a scheme to enable rejected, but desirable messages to be upgraded in a way that they meet downstream requirements. We call this process 'message refinement'. This in turn allows downstream principals to express and enforce precise requirements as the risk of losing desirable messages is minimized. To apply this scheme uniformly to any email-control mechanism, we provide a flexible and extensible policy language to express message acceptance preferences. We use a constraint logic programming approach to specifying and evaluating these policies and show that their evaluation can be accomplished in PTIME. This supports our belief that this technique can be practically applied. |
