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 35):
A computer-implemented method of authenticating an e-mail message, wherein the e-mail message is sent by a first entity in a manner purporting to be on behalf of a second entity, and wherein the second entity is a legal entity not inherently associated with the first entity, the computer-implemented method comprising:\n extracting a plurality of e-mail headers from said e-mail message; from the extracted plurality of e-mail headers, identifying a sending edge mail transfer agent (MTA) associated with the first entity; from said e-mail message, identifying the second entity and a domain associated with the second entity; retrieving via a wide area network (WAN) a record published in association with the domain of the second entity, and processing the published record to determine whether the identified sending edge MTA associated with the first entity is explicitly identified by the record as authorized to send said e-mail messages on behalf of the second entity; and responsively authenticating said e-mail message.
