spam detection

Inbox protection system

Spam detection is the process of identifying and filtering unwanted messages—typically unsolicited bulk emails, but also text messages, comments, or other digital communications.

Software uses various techniques to catch spam: pattern matching, keyword analysis, sender reputation, and machine learning trained on known spam.

Gmail's spam detection caught the phishing attempt before it reached my inbox.
