Abstract

Email is a method of
exchanging digital messages between people
using digital devices such as computers,
tablets and mobile phones. Email spam also
known as junk email is unsolicited bulk
messages send through email. The use of
spam has been growing in popularity since
1990s and is a problem faced by most email
users. Recipients of spam often have had
their email addresses obtained by spambots
which are automated programs that crawl
the internet looking for email addresses.
Origin blacklisting is used to detect and
filter these kinds of emails. The sources of
emails are provided by origin detection. In
this origin identity, the spam blocking
system finds the source and if any source
matches with the user identity, the spammer
is blocked to send email. But the system
cannot check the contents of spam. The
Propose system verifies the mail contents. If
the spam content matches with the spam
database cluster, then it blocked while
sending to receiver. In this system blocks the
mail and prevents the flow of data in a
network. The porter stemmer and k-means
clustering algorithms are using in this
propose system.
