Abstract

In this paper we propose an incremental spam e-mail filtering using a modified Naïve Bayesian classification that is simple, adaptable and efficient. Our email spam filter is a hybrid filter that combines the advantages of the various filtering techniques. We also illustrate the effectiveness of our filtering scheme by simulations.
