27. Spam Filtering?
Illustrious sir/madame,
I have recently acquired a bounteous
cache of 7 million semicolons. They can all
be yours if you send a money order for
30 semicolons.
Most graciously,
A spammer
28. An idea
• Count up all words in all spam
• Count up all words in not-spam
• Compare counts to words in new
documents
