As the email is becoming a prominent mode of communication so are the attempts to misuse it to take undue advantage of its low cost and high reachability. However, as email communication is very cheap, spammers are taking advantage of it for advertising their products, for committing cybercrimes. So, researchers are working hard to combat with the spammers. Many spam detections techniques and systems are built to fight spammers. But the spammers are continuously finding new ways to defeat the existing filters. This paper describes the existing spam filters techniques and proposes a multi-level architecture for spam email detection. We present the analysis of the architecture to prove the effectiveness of the architecture.
