Abstract

In a technique for minimizing unsolicited communications such as spam email, a level of trust between parties is determined on the basis of past communications between parties. A new message from one party to another is passed automatically provided trust has been established. Otherwise, the message may be dropped or temporarily blocked, with ultimate delivery made contingent on further action by the sender.
