Abstract
Electronic mail being one of the most prevalent methods for exchange of digital messages has been facing the biggest threat that is spam. Since the text spam can be easily detected so a new variant of spamming came into being. The new variant of spam is the image spam that is the trending method of spamming. This paper investigates the several classifiers used in the image spam classification like the Decision Tree and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and a combination of the both.
