Patent

CA 2389472

Software and system that provides an effective means of limiting Unsolicited Commercial Email (A.K.A. "spam") without the risk of blocking legitimate email and without the need for the user to configure complex software, write filtering rules, maintain lists of email addresses, or change the way they currently retrieve, read, compose and send email. The invention includes a central database called the "Registry" that contains information about email addresses that is provided directly and indirectly by the senders and receivers of email messages and that is derived from the process of users sending and receiving email messages; a centralized collaborative rating process that uses information contained in the Registry to evaluate and rate each email address; an email "ratings server" that contains rating values for email addresses; and "filtering software" that filters email messages based on the users preferences and currently assigned address rating values provided by the ratings server.
