Spam E-mails

The program will determine whether an e-mail is spam based upon a scoring system that uses the lists of Spam and non-spam words. The more spam words in an e-mail, the greater potential for the program to mark the e-mail as Spam. Conversely, the more non-spam words in an e-mail, the greater potential for the program to not mark an e-mail as spam.

To add to either the spam words or non-spam words list, type phrases into the appropriate text box. The program will consider each line in the text box as a phrase. Then click on Save Settings. For example, if you enter 'God is great' on one of the lines, the program will search for every instance of 'God is great' in an e-mail and not just for a single instance of any of those words. For example, if an e-mail had 'God is awesome', the program will not take that phrase into consideration because it does not exactly match the phrase, 'God is great'.
