FILTERING ELECTRONIC MESSAGES BASED ON DOMAIN ATTRIBUTES WITHOUT REPUTATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method executed on a computing device for filtering electronic messages based on domain attributes without a reputation, the method comprising:
- receiving a message with a uniform resource identifier (URI);
determining that the URI is not included within at least one of;
a trusted list and a block list;
assigning weighted scores to one or more factors associated with the message;
computing a total score from the weighted scores; and
evaluating the message for an unsolicited message determination by comparing the total score against a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
A messaging application filters electronic messages based on domain attributes without a reputation. A message with a uniform resource identifier (URI) is received and determined to not be included within a trusted or a block list. A total score is computed from weighted scores assigned to factors associated with the message. The message is evaluated for an unsolicited message determination by comparing the total score against a predetermined threshold.

12. A computing device for filtering electronic messages based on domain attributes without a reputation, the computing device comprising:
-
a memory configured to store instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor executing a messaging application in conjunction with the instructions stored in the memory, wherein the messaging application is configured to; receive a message with a uniform resource identifier (URI); retrieve a trusted list and a block list from one of;
a local resource and a trusted external resource;determine that the URI is not included within at least one of;
the trusted list and the block list;determine the URI as lacking a reputation; assign weighted scores to one or more factors associated with the message; compute a total score from the weighted scores; and evaluate the message for an unsolicited message determination by comparing the total score against a predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable memory device with instructions stored thereon for filtering electronic messages based on domain attributes without a reputation, the instructions comprising:
-
receiving a message with a uniform resource identifier (URI); retrieving a trusted list and a block list from one of;
a local resource and a trusted external resource;determining that the URI is not included within at least one of;
the trusted list and the block list;determining the URI as lacking a reputation; assigning weighted scores to one or more factors associated with the message; computing a total score from the weighted scores; evaluating the message for an unsolicited message determination by comparing the total score against a predetermined threshold; and dynamically adjusting the predetermined threshold and the weighted scores based on at least one of;
a current unsolicited message activity and a recipient of the message. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
