  • receiving an input from a community member indicating that one or more e-mails received by the community member is unwanted;

    counting a number of inputs received from community members indicating that e-mail is unwanted based on one or more criteria;

    flagging future e-mails based on the criteria when the number of inputs counted reaches a threshold for penalizing an originator or a group associated with the originator of the unwanted e-mail; and

    denying delivery of future e-mails from the originator or from the group associated with the originator until a penalty period expires.
