1. A computer-implemented method to assign a reputation to a messaging entity, comprising:
- receiving a query comprising data that identifies a plurality of biasing characteristics related to a messaging entity associated with the communication;
analyzing, using at least one processor device, the identified plurality of biasing characteristics related to the messaging entity associated with the communication based upon a plurality of criteria;
determining a reputation score associated with the messaging entity based upon the analysis of the identified plurality of biasing characteristics related to the messaging entity associated with the communication;
encoding the reputation score based at least in part on a communication protocol, wherein the reputation score is encoded in at least a portion of an IP address; and
transmitting the encoded reputation score as a response to the query.

Abstract
Methods and systems for operation upon one or more data processors for biasing a reputation score. A communication having data that identifies a plurality of biasing characteristics related to a messaging entity associated with the communication is received. The identified plurality of biasing characteristics related to the messaging entity associated with the communication based upon a plurality of criteria are analyzed, and a reputation score associated with the messaging entity is biased based upon the analysis of the identified plurality of biasing characteristics related to the messaging entity associated with the communication.

8. One or more non-transitory computer readable media for filtering communications stored on one or more computer systems, the one or more computer readable media being operable to cause one or more data processors associated with the one or more computer systems to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a query comprising data that identifies a plurality of biasing characteristics related to a messaging entity associated with the communication; analyzing the identified plurality of biasing characteristics related to the messaging entity associated with the communication based upon a plurality of criteria; determining a reputation score associated with the messaging entity based upon the analysis of the identified plurality of biasing characteristics related to the messaging entity associated with the communication; encoding the reputation score based at least in part on a communication protocol, wherein the reputation score is encoded in at least a portion of an IP address; and transmitting the encoded reputation score as a response to the query. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A security system comprising:
-
at least one communication interface communicatively coupling the security system to one or more server systems; a system data store capable of storing an electronic communication and accumulated data associated with received electronic communications; and a system processor in communication with the system data store and the at least one communication interface, wherein the system processor comprises one or more processing elements and wherein the system processor performs operations comprising; receiving a query comprising data that identifies a plurality of biasing characteristics related to a messaging entity associated with the communication; analyzing the identified plurality of biasing characteristics related to the messaging entity associated with the communication based upon a plurality of criteria;
determining a reputation score associated with the messaging entity based upon the analysis of the identified plurality of biasing characteristics related to the messaging entity associated with the communication;encoding the reputation score based at least in part on a communication protocol, wherein the reputation score is encoded in at least a portion of an IP address; and transmitting the encoded reputation score as a response to the query.
