A Study of Suspicious E-Mail Detection Techniques

Electronic mail is a preferred way of written communication, especially in an official or corporate setting, and the influx of emails is ever-growing. While most emails are meant to communicate something useful or important, it is even more common to receive spam or phishing emails regularly. While some of the most used email service providers have filters in their inboxes to filter out unnecessary emails, it is easy for people with malicious intent to bypass the same, thus increasing the need for a more accurate and reliable system for filters. The study aims to survey and review existing work in the space of email classification and recognize the best practices and tools which can be used for analyzing and classifying emails.
