The document discusses anomaly detection approaches for identifying spam emails. It compares the performance of two spam detection tools, SpamAssassin and Ling Spam, using both Manhattan and Euclidean distance thresholds to classify emails as spam or not spam. Results show that SpamAssassin achieved the highest F-measure of 94.62% using minimum Manhattan distance, while Ling Spam achieved the highest F-measure of 92.20% using mean Euclidean distance. Anomaly detection approaches may help overcome the large volume of unclassified spam emails.
