Claim 10:
11. A system, comprising:
at least one processor;
memory in electronic communication with the at least one processor; and
instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the at least one processor to:
receive, from a sender, a plurality of messages, each message of the plurality of messages being sent to at least one recipient of a plurality of recipients;
determine a message frequency of the sender based on the plurality of messages, the message frequency including a quantity of messages sent to a given recipient of the plurality of recipients over a period of time;
compare the message frequency to a plurality of threshold values associated with a plurality of noise ranks, each noise rank being based on a range of frequencies defined by the plurality of threshold values;
determine a noise rank of the sender from the plurality of noise ranks based on the comparing the message frequency to the plurality of threshold values; and
