Abstract :
Unsolicited commercial email, also known as spam, has been a major problem on the Internet. In this paper a well known multiobjective evolutionary Algorithm, NSGA-II, is first time used for spam e-mail filtering. NSGA-II is adapted to use Genetic Programming components to achieve a set of filtering rules with different profiles.
