Using electronic mail (e-mail) we can communicate freely and almost at no cost. It creates new possibilities for companies that can use e-mail to send advertisements to their clients (that is called direct-mailing). The term spam refers mostly to that kind of advertisements. Massively sent unsolicited e-mails attack many Internet users. Unfortunately, this kind of message can not be filtered out by simple rule-based filters. In this paper we will extend artificial immune system (AIS) proposed in [6] which is based on mammalian immune system and designed to protect users from spam. Generally AIS are also used to detect computer viruses or to detect anomalies in computer networks.
