What Is Spam?
You’ve likely noticed a surge in the junk mail cluttering your inbox or invading your favorite newsgroups. This growing problem stems from the activities of a relatively small group of people.
Chain letters that request money, whether in postal mail or email, are illegal in the U.S. If you come across these scams, report them to your local U.S. Postmaster. You might also encounter emails originating from Nigeria or other African nations, attempting to use your bank account to transfer vast sums?"known as '419' scams, these have even led to deadly consequences.
Spam involves bombarding the Internet with numerous copies of the same message, forcing unwanted information onto users. Predominantly, spam consists of commercial advertising, dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or semi-legal services. The sender bears minimal costs, while the recipients or carriers absorb most of the expense. Fortunately, spam is usually easy to recognize. If someone aided you in sorting through your emails, they could effortlessly eliminate the spam. Can we automate this task efficiently? Simple algorithms can tackle it well. In fact, using a Bayesian filtering approach with minor tweaks can effectively filter out spam, achieving a success rate of less than 5 missed per 1,000 spams, without false positives.
