Through the internet, marketing campaign, promotion, news reports and many more are made in just a matter of minutes. With this, transactions are made easy resulting to more sales. But this is not the real score nowadays, with people sending unsolicited emails (dubbed as spam), mail administrators and users tend to install spam filters in order to prevent annoying and offensive messages from reaching their inboxes. But the thing is, your legitimate message can be blocked.

Spam filters are generally designed to eliminate spam messages in the inbox by either directing the received message on the bulk folder or deleting it. In other words, spam filters cleanse the user’s inbox from unwanted ‘trash’ – pornography, violence and the like. Since these filters are not perfect, legitimate messages can be flagged as spam as well.

Spam filters vary in terms of the method used in detecting spam. The most common type of method is content assessment. This method relies greatly in the content of the sent message or looking for ‘kill’ words or phrases. Bayesian logic is also one of the methods used. Unlike content-based filters, Bayesian method has some sort of ‘training period’, wherein the filter is accustomed to what a legitimate or a spam message appears like. One of the drawbacks of Bayesian method is, it is so dependent on the ‘training’ made. Furthermore, other spam filters use Whitelist-Blacklist method. If the message address is in the whitelist, then it will be directed to the inbox, otherwise in the bulk folder.
