Abstract:
1. A system that facilitates extracting data in connection with spam processing, comprising: a memory; a processor coupled to the memory; a component that receives an item and extracts a set of features associated with an origination of a message or part thereof and/or information that enables an intended recipient to contact, respond or receive in connection with the message, wherein the component that receives the item determines a last trusted server IP address to distinguish between legitimate and fake prepended server IP addresses and the last trusted server IP address is extracted as a feature from the item; and a component that employs a subset of the extracted features in connection with building a filter by adding the subset of the extracted features to a training set of data utilized for training and updating the filter, wherein the filter determines a probability that the message is spam when the subset of the extracted features passes through the filter.
