The increasing volume of unsolicited mass e-mail (otherwise called spam) has generated a need for reliable against spam filters. Utilizing a classifier based on machine learning techniques to naturally filter out spam e-mail has drawn many researchers' attention. In this paper, we review some of relevant ideas and do a set of systematic experiments on e-mail categorization, which has been conducted with four machine learning calculations applied to different parts of e-mail. Experimental
