These abuses influence in user´s routine of electronic mail and in the infrastructure of Internet communication. So, this paper proposes a new model messages filter based in Euclidian distance, beyond show the containment´s methodologies currently more used. A new model messages filter, based in frequency´s distribution of character present in your content and in signature generation is described.
