  • Patent number: 8086684
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for detecting and mitigating abuse of undeliverable email or “bounced” emails. An administrator may import a list of email addresses for one or more contacts. The opt-in software may determine if each email address in the list of email addresses is opted in to receive an email distribution, and if so, a bounce detection software may determine if each email address is found in a database of known undeliverable or “bounced” email addresses. If so, an abuse-mitigation software may defer importing the list of email addresses and display an alert referring the administrator to an abuse department for review of the account.

  • Publication number: 20110276622
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for a user requesting a file or a plurality of file chunks stored in a file storage system, and a customized metadata stored in data storage. One or more tracker servers may determine file locations in the file system, and the location of the customized metadata in the data storage. These locations may be returned to an application, possibly an API, which may determine one or more URLs for the file locations and perform an HTTP request to read the file or file chunks from the locations or URLs in the file system. The file or file chunks, along with the customized metadata, may then be returned and displayed to the user that requested them.

  • Publication number: 20110276656
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for a user uploading a file and a customized metadata about the file to a file storage system. This information may be forwarded to an application, possibly an API, which may divide the file into a plurality of file chunks if the file is greater than a predetermined file size. One or more tracker servers may check a database to locate optimal file locations for the file or file chunks to be stored within the file storage system. These optimal locations may be returned from the tracker servers to the application/API which may perform an HTTP request to write the file to the file storage system. The file write may be validated and finalized, and the successful write may be displayed to the user on a user interface on a client.

  • Publication number: 20110276538
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for a user uploading a file and a customized metadata about the file to a file storage system, and reading the same back upon request. This information may be forwarded to an application, possibly an API, which may divide the file into a plurality of file chunks if the file is greater than a predetermined file size. One or more tracker servers may check a database to locate optimal or current file locations for the file or file chunks to be stored within the file storage system. These optimal or current locations may be returned from the tracker servers to the application/API which may perform an HTTP request to write the file to or read the file from the file storage system. The file write may be validated and finalized, and the successful write or read may be displayed to the user on a user interface on a client.

  • Publication number: 20110258218
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for detecting and mitigating abuse of unsolicited email or “spam.” An administrator may select one or more contacts from a list of contacts to opt in to receive an email distribution. An abuse detection software may then determine for each contact in the contact list whether the contact has read the email distribution and reported the email distribution as an unsolicited email message. If so, an abuse department may place a hold on the email distribution (possibly using abuse mitigation software) and display an alert referring the administrator to the abuse department for review of the account. Otherwise, the email distribution may continue to completion.
