Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for detecting unsolicited messages (i.e., spam) and preventing unsolicited messages from being sent. Certain embodiments provide analyzing dynamic information received as part of a request to generate a message. Parts or elements of the dynamic information such as sender, recipient and content are analyzed using filters and configurable constants to determine an abuse score indicative of the likelihood that the dynamic information may generate spam if included in an electronic message. A course of action may be followed dependent on the abuse score determined. For example, if the dynamic information is deemed not likely to generate spam, an electronic message from the information received is generated and sent. Certain embodiments allow implementation of the system and method in a distributed environment comprising of multiple systems or servers performing the same method.
