The method includes steps: establishing filtration rules, definition base for rule rating, threshold value base (TVB) for garbage mail (GM), and establishing decision and judgment system (DJS) for GM; mail sent from local client end enters into first filtration rule to carry out matching process so as to obtain a rank score, and then the mail is forwarded to DJS for GM to carry out comparison; DJS for GM adds up the rank scores so as to obtain overall rank score (ORS), which is compared with threshold value (TV) for rating GM setup in TVB; if ORS is higher than TV of GM, then the mail is as GM, and if ORS is lower than TV of GM, then the mail is going to next filtration rule to carry out matching process right along repeatedly till to n pieces of filtration rules are matched completely; and if ORS is still lower than TV of GM, then the mail is a normal. The invention prevents mails from error filtering since the invention changes practice that using single rule judges GM directly.
