Abstract :
In general, the definition of spam is related to the consent or lack of consent of the recipient, not the content of the e-mail. According to this definition, problems arise in the classification of electronic mails in marketing and advertising. For example, it is possible that some promotional e-mails are spam for some users and not spam for others. To deal with this problem, personal anti-spams are designed according to the profile and behavior of users. Usually, machine learning methods are used with good accuracy to classify spam. But in any case, there is no single successful method based on the point of view of e-commerce. In this article, first, a new profile is prepared to better simulate the behavior of users. Then this profile is presented to students along with emails and their responses are collected. In the following, well-known methods are tested for different data sets to categorize electronic mails. Finally, by comparing data mining evaluation criteria, neural network is determined as the best method with high accuracy.
