  • Patent number: 7321922
    Abstract: The invention relates to determining electronic text communication distributed in bulk is likely solicited. In one step, a first electronic and a second electronic submission are received. It is determined that the first electronic submission is likely solicited. A first portion is extracted from the first electronic submission and a second portion from the second electronic submission. The content of the first electronic submission influences extraction of the first portion, and the content of the second electronic submission influences extraction of the second portion. A first code is determined for the first portion and a second code is determined for the second portion, where the first code is indicative of the first portion and the second code is indicative of the second portion. The first code is compared to the second code. It is determined that the second electronic submission is likely solicited, at least in part, in response to comparing the first code to the second code.
