Abstract

E-mail is the cheaper and fast way of communication. E-mail is used in both personal and professional levels of life. Various types of e-mail are lies on social websites. The spam is one of them. Spam is the undesired messages on the internet site which is nothing but wastes the time and resources. Spam messages are sent by the spammer for marketing, promotion, spreading the virus. Various detection and filtering approaches are used to manage the spam. One is the most useful and simple approach is KNN algorithm which is content based approach. In this paper, the authors are trying to improve KNN algorithm which can be later used for better Spam Email Detection.
