Patent number: 10673797Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for defining a message behavior profile for a sender, which may be used to categorize messages from the sender. A message behavior profile may be defined based upon, for example, message distribution behavior of the sender (e.g., volume, frequency, variance in content amongst messages sent to recipients, etc.); recipient interactions with messages from the sender (e.g., message read rates, message response rates, etc.); unsubscription options comprised within messages from the sender; and/or other factors. In this way, the message behavior profile and/or features extracted from a message may be used to categorize a message from the sender (e.g., newsletter, commercial advertisements, alert, social network etc.). Categorized messages may be organized into folders, displayed or hidden within views, and/or processed based upon their respective categorizations.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ivan Osipkov, Wei Jiang, Malcolm Hollis Davis, Douglas Hines, Joshua Korb

Patent number: 8959157Abstract: A system and method of managing unsolicited email sent to an email system over a network. Email messages are received at an message at an inbound mail transfer agent. A determination is made as to whether the email message is suspected to be an unsolicited suspect message. One or more queries for additional information on one or more characteristics of the message is initiated. Determinations are made based on replies to the queries before issuing a message accepted for delivery indication to a sending server.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2009Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jason D. Walter, Eliot C. Gillum, Krishna C. Vitaldevara, Ryan Charles Colvin, Mehrdad Bidgoli, Chad W. Mills, Joshua David Korb, Robert Lee McCann, Douglas John Hines, Malcolm Hollis Davis, Milenko Drinic

Publication number: 20130018965Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for identifying abusive message objects (e.g., URLs, email addresses, etc.), abusive infrastructure components and/or abusive users of a message communication medium(s). In particular, abusive message objects may be identified by aggregating abuse reports to assign abuse values to message objects used within messages by reported users identified within the abuse reports. Abusive users may be identified based upon (e.g., unreported) users that have sent messages comprising message objects identified as abusive. Users may also be identified as abusive users based upon account usage patterns within the message communication medium(s) (e.g., a broadcast usage pattern where a user sends a large number of messages, but receives few responses). Additionally, infrastructure components associated with abusive users may be identified as abusive infrastructure components.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2011Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Aravind K.
