Abstract

Campaign detection techniques are described. In implementations, a signature is computed for each of a plurality of emails to be communicated by a service provider to respective intended recipients. A determination is made that two or more of the plurality of emails is similar based on the respective signatures. Responsive to a finding that a number of similar emails exceeds a threshold, an indication is output that the similar emails have a likelihood of being involved in a spam campaign.
