Abstract
In today's internet-oriented data; receiving spam email messages are quite obvious. Most of the time such emails are commercial. But many times, such emails may contain some phishing links that have malware. This arises the need for proposing prudent mechanism to detect or identify such spam emails so that time and memory space of the system can be saved up to a great extent. In this paper, we presented the same mechanism which can filter spam and non-spam emails. Our proposed algorithm generates dictionary and features and trains them through machine learning for effective results.
