  • Patent number: 11722445
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to identifying and processing suspicious emails. In some embodiments, a computing device may receive an email associated with an email domain. Subsequently, the computing device may determine a registration date of the email domain. The computing device may then compare the determined registration date to a first threshold date. Thereafter, responsive to determining that the determined registration date is before the first threshold date, the computing device may transmit the email to a recipient address identified in the email. Responsive to determining that the determined registration date is at or after the first threshold date, the computing device may execute a security risk assessment model. The computing device may then determine, based on the security risk assessment model, a security risk level of the email domain. The computing device may filter, based on the security risk level of the email domain, the email.

  • Patent number: 11706178
    Abstract: Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is a widely used method of distinguishing authorized email from unauthorized email. SPF policies are published into a domain's DNS and then looked up and evaluated by mail receivers. Due to the complexity and limitations of the SPF specification, implementation mistakes and risks are widespread. This problem is compounded by the common practice of nesting SPF policies which introduces hidden risks, particularly exceeding DNS lookup limits. Embodiments of the present disclosure enable new SPF techniques such as selectively inactivating parts of a policy by introducing a virtual-all term, designed to secure against the third-party term inclusions in the policy. When the primary policy is online, the virtual-all term may serve as a terminate policy evaluation much like a traditional “all” term. If the primary policy is offline, a “fail open” may be produced, allowing policy evaluation to proceed into previously inactivated segment of the policy.

  • Patent number: 11700222
    Abstract: A message transportation management system can be configured to receive a message directed to a plurality of target message recipients. The system can determine a plurality of levels of activity, each corresponding to one of the plurality of target message recipients. The system can receive a level of activity threshold associated with each of the plurality of target message recipients. The system can determine that the first subgroup of target message recipients qualifies as priority target message recipients. The system can transmit, via a priority transfer location, the message to the first subgroup of target message recipients and transmit, via a default transfer location different from the priority transfer location, the message to a second subgroup of target message recipients.
