Abstract
A large number of spam filtering and other mail classification systems have been proposed and implemented in the recent past. This paper describes a possible unification of these filters, allowing their technology to be described in a uniform way, and allowing comparison between similar systems to be considered in a more analytic style. In particular, describing these filters in a uniform way reveals a large commonality of design, and explains why so many filters have such similar performance.
