Abstract
E-mail pervades many aspects of our lives and is becoming indispensable communication method in areas such as commerce, government, production and general information dissemination. To maintain the security and usability of the e-mail system, every effort must be made to efficient monitoring e-mail traffic and protecting against various types of spam maker. In this paper, we design and implement a web-based 3D visualization system, monitoring the e-mail traffic and providing based on statistic suspicious activities analysis. Our system also provides convenient interactive user interface for selecting interest watching object and different type of analysis method. Our results indicate that analysts can efficient examine the e-mail traffic and rapidly discover abnormal user activities.
