Abstract:
Methods and systems for authenticating and confidence marking e-mail messages are described. One embodiment describes a method of authenticating an e-mail message. This method involves extracting a plurality of e-mail headers associated with the e-mail message, and identifying a sending edge mail transfer agent (MTA). The method then calls for determining if the sending edge MTA is authorized to send the e-mail message.

Claim (Index 38):
The computer-implemented method of  claim 35 , wherein:\n identifying the second entity and the domain associated with the second entity comprises,\n from the extracted plurality of e-mail headers, identifying one or more domains of prior senders which are not inherently associated with the first entity, \n transmitting a request via a WAN to a validation service, wherein the validation service is to compare the one or more domains with a list of legitimate businesses having names similar to the one or more domains, and \n receiving a response from the validation service which provides information to identify a SPF record corresponding to one of the legitimate businesses; \n retrieving the record comprises retrieving the SPF record corresponding to the one of the legitimate businesses; and the processing comprises processing the SPF record so as to determine whether the identified sending edge MTA is explicitly identified by the one of the legitimate businesses as authorized to send said e-mail messages on behalf of the one of the legitimate businesses.
