Email has become one of the fastest and most economical forms of communication. However, the increase of email users has resulted in the dramatic increase of spam emails during the past few years. As spammers always try to find a way to evade existing filters, new filters need to be developed to catch spam. Generally, the main tool for email filtering is based on text classification. A classifier then is a system that classifies incoming messages as spam or legitimate (ham) using classification methods. The most important methods of classification utilize machine learning techniques. There are a plethora of options when it comes to deciding how to add a machine learning component to a python email classification. This article describes an approach for spam filtering using Python where the interesting spam or ham words (spam-ham lexicon) are filtered first from the training dataset and then this lexicon is used to generate the training and testing tables that are used by variety of data mining algorithms. Our experimentation using one dataset reveals the affectivity of the Naïve Bayes and the SVM classifiers for spam filtering.
