How to Design a Spam Filter for GMAIL

This is one of the trending topic in interview questions.

I have read few blogs but i did not get any useful information to answer this. In reality, There are so many lengthy algorithm which run behind it and these are really hard to explain in interview. However interviewer is also not expecting those Algos from candidate.

Here i am trying to figure out how a developer can think of it and gathered below information from couple of blogs.

Types:
— Phishing (online fraud — trick the victim — revealing sensitive details — as a trustworthy)
— Spam

Spoofed email addrs: Greek character (“Σ”) for the Latin character “E”
