Publication number: 20070156830Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic message management system (EMS) that includes a real-time feedback loop where data is collected from the electronic messages on incoming connection attempts, outgoing delivery attempts, and message content analysis, and written to a centralized data matrix. A separate process accesses the data matrix and analyzes trends in that data. The detected data patterns, trends or behavior is based on configuration parameters for the recipient. Based on these determinations, the process is able to instruct components in the EMS to accept, redirect, refuse, modify, defer, or otherwise dispose of the connection request, the delivery attempt, or the message. Associated methods for managing the transmission of electronic messages are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2007Publication date: July 5, 2007Inventors: Scott Petry, Shinya Akamine, Peter Lund, Fred Cox, Michael Oswall

Publication number: 20070136801Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing transport layer encryption with an intermediate electronic message managing service interposed in a message path of an electronic message to be sent from a sending server to an intended receiving server across a computer network. To implement TLS in such a managed e-mail services context, given that a managed e-mail service is inserted into the message delivery path, the transport layer security protocols are simultaneously established along both the link from the sending server to the managed e-mail service and from the receiving server to the managed e-mail service, with the managed e-mail service providing a “proxy” connection for communication between the sending server and the receiving server.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2005Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: Binh Le, Erik Chen, Michael Oswall, Adam Dawes, Joseph Green, Kenneth Okumura, Scott Petry, Lisa Lund

Publication number: 20070050461Abstract: Disclosed in this application are systems and methods for detecting unwanted electronic message transmissions at a certain location on an electronic communications network. The disclosed principles include establishing a database for storing metadata associated with message traffic according to at least the source addresses of the senders of electronic message transmissions. The disclosed principles also include monitoring electronic message transmissions at the certain location on the electronic communications network. Also, included is populating the database with metadata derived from analysis of the monitored electronic messages, where the metadata includes metadata derived by analyzing the contents of the monitored electronic messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2006Publication date: March 1, 2007Applicant: POSTINI, INC.Inventors: Scott Petry, Shinya Akamine, Peter Lund, Fred Cox, Michael Oswall

Publication number: 20060242708Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and the like for the management of filtered messages and filtering settings. Embodiments use the interaction of a user and a notification message to execute commands/requests. In one aspect, a notification message is used to notify a computer user of filtered incoming electronic messages that are stored in a quarantine server and database. In one embodiment, the notification message comprises message data having information regarding incoming messages blocked from reaching the destination server and stored in the quarantine server and database. Also in this embodiment, the message includes user interface data selectable by the user to manage the handling of incoming messages. In addition, the message includes action logic associated with the user interface data and configured to execute the selections made by the user by sending commands from the user's computer to the quarantine server and database via a computer network.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2005Publication date: October 26, 2006Applicant: POSTINI, INC.Inventors: Michael Oswall, Dorion Carroll, Lisa Hoggatt, Scott Petry, Fredric Cox, Peter Lund, Michael Beeson
