Tamil Spam E-Mail Filtering for Text Message Using Bayesian Filtering Algorithm

Abstract

In the contemporary digital era, email has become an essential component of daily modern living.  The growth of email usage and cloud storage has been increasing drastically. Email is one of the most important technology innovations and a great medium of communication in the 21^st century. But, every email account is receiving a large number of spam emails every day.  Email spam is a rampant activity in cyberspace. The growth of Email spam has been increasing drastically. Spam email is a kind of Email-Based Advertisement. Mostly, spam emails are come from the advertisers to promote their growing business. The prime aim of this advertisement is to increase sales and income. The emails of such kind are called Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE).

Spam emails pose a significant issue, steadily affecting users of email. Spam emails are the unwanted emails sent by unwanted users (Spammers) from unknown email addresses. Spam has become a nightmare for email users because it clutters mailboxes, occupies unnecessary disk spaces and makes us spend a considerable amount of time deleting spam messages. In order to filter spam emails, there is a need to design a powerful and intelligent spam filtering method using machine learning techniques. At present, we use the English language to send emails. Numerous techniques and algorithms have been suggested and put into practice to filter out spam in the English language. But, there is no perfect spam filtering method in the Tamil language so far. In order to filter the spam emails in Tamil, the researcher has designed a new spam filtering method in the Tamil language called Tamil Spam Filter (TSF).

                The primary objective of this paper is to help Tamil speaking people who are spread all over the world in sending emails in Tamil language and help them categorize the send and received emails as good emails (HAM) or SPAM emails using Bayesian Machine Learning algorithm. This paper focuses on fast email sending and cloud storage with 100% spam protection in the Tamil language using the Bayesian Spam Filtering algorithm.
