Resumo:
In this work, we present the development of an Open Source Anti-Spam System
(SASCA) in Java. Unlike commercial anti-spam systems, SASCA does not make
use of block lists (black / white), but rather of m machine learning models for
email classification.
Several experiments were carried out on a basis of real e-mails collected at the
Federal University of Itajubá.
In the experiments carried out, it was observed that the SASCA performed very
close to the CanIt commercial anti-spam system in terms of e-mail classification,
but with a much better performance in terms of the time required for classification.
