In this study we investigate malicious spam emails in the context of educational institutes. The goal of the study is two folds, first, is to explore spam types of attacks and what their malicious contents may include and secondly, to analyze if these attacks exhibit discriminative characteristics. This study offers an empirical analysis of spam emails dataset and provides a rich set of features that exist in the dataset. The features could then be used by researchers to build new intelligent systems that are capable of classifying and blocking spam emails.
