Abstract

An anti-spamming agent (40) filters incoming email messages to eliminate unsoicited and unwanted email messages, particularly bul email messages known as spam. The anti-spamming agent gives all incoming mail messages a score (48) and processes the messages based on the message score (42). Messages receiving a qualifying score are forwarded to the user (34). All other messages are either discarded or quarantined (50) while the anti-spamming agent performs further authorization procedures, such as a challenge-response procedure (44). When a message from an unknown sender is received, a verified mail registry may be queried to authenticated the sender, and the mail may be processed based on the response from the verified mail registry.
