This is been achieve by distinguishing spam from non-spam (self from non-self). In this paper, we propose an optimized technique for e-mail classification. This is done by distinguishing the characteristics of self and non-self that is been acquired from trained data set. These extracted features of self and non-self are then combined to make a single detector, therefore reducing the false rate. (Non-self that were wrongly classified as self). The result that will be acquired in this paper will demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique in decreasing false rate. %K Negative selection %K E-mail Classification %K Algorithm %K Self %K Non-Self %K Artificial Immune System %K Classification accuracy. %U http://www.wcsit.org/pub/2013/vol.3.no.3/A%20Negative%20Selection%20Algorithm%20Based%20on%20Email%20Classification%20Techniques.pdf
