Abstract
The subject innovation pertains to filtration of voice, facsimile and the like communications. These messages can be analyzed to determine if they are unsolicited bulk communications (i.e., spam) or include malicious code. Analysis or filtration can be accomplished by, among other things, transforming the message into an email. The email can include the message as an attachment and a body that provides at least a portion of the content. Conventional and novel analysis tools can subsequently be applied to the email to scan for spam and viruses, among other things.
