Definitions

  • Earthlink provides a challenge message system using an "Allowed Sender Request Form.”
  • Such affirmative response techniques are effective, but not fail-safe since they rely on the user to take action in order to let certain senders through, i.e. it requires the user to monitor for false positives and manage legitimate senders since it treats all unknown senders the same.
  • the "Allowed Sender Request Form" is particularly burdensome for business users who often receive email from unknown senders and do not wish to spend time monitoring junkmail folders or responding to requests for authorization.
  • a number of systems are in use for communicating a human intelligible
  • the new system can be operated remotely so it does not need to consume the user's bandwidth and it applies simultaneously to all retrieval points and platforms.
  • the method utilizes human language and comprehension as a means of filtering the email.
  • the user sets a rule for incoming electronic messages, such as email, so that messages that contain a certain pass-phrase (preferably in the subject line) will always be accepted.
  • An automatic reply to blocked senders instructs them on how to bypass the trap using the pass-phrase.
  • the user can change the pass- phrase as often as needed and can set white lists and black lists. Changes to email routes or MX records are not required.
  • server-side processing systems may be used in the present invention as long as the system can reject filtered email, forward it to another address and accept a rule to automatically pass email containing a designated pass-phrase, preferably in the subject line. Additionally, once the system of this invention is deployed into public use, mail servers will require a means of detecting that a given message is an
  • This invention represents an ideal spam trap, it does not require the user to download email in order to filter it, it applies to all retrieval points and platforms at once, it provides a reliable mechanism for avoiding false positives by using human-dependant instructions to bypass the trap, it does not require rerouting MX records, and it can reside anywhere on the Internet.
  • this invention is fail-safe in that the user is not required to monitor a junkmail folder for false positives or take action to allow email from unknown senders to be delivered, the system operates unattended and without ⁇ burden on the user. Since filtered senders are ultimately differentiated by whether or not they are human, this system allows even unknown senders to reach the user without user interaction but blocks computer generated mass email. This is particularly important for business users who are often receiving email from individuals who are not already known to them.

  • Filtered electronic messages such as, for example, the email in this example, is sent back to the sender who then comprehends the instructions to modify the subject line of their original email with a pass-phrase and resend it.
  • a rule is set on the server to accept all email with the pass-phrase anywhere in the subject line (in this case, "filtered” using wildcards (*'s) i.e. * filtered* so that the position of the word in the subject line does not matter).
  • the modified message bypasses the filter after being resent the subject is prepended with the word "Trapped.” In this way the user is automatically alerted that the sender bypassed the trap and additional processing, such as white or black listing, can be facilitated.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'empêcher sensiblement les messages distribués en masse et/ou non sollicités d'atteindre l'adresse de messagerie électronique d'un usager. On utilise un filtre qui permet d'admettre ou de refuser un message, de reconnaître une séquence mot-de-passe, de remettre des messages électroniques à une première boîte à lettres d'un usager lorsque la séquence mot-de-passe est identifiée ou lorsque le message convient aux critères de filtrage, et d'envoyer le message à une autre boîte à lettres lorsque la séquence mot-de-passe n'est pas identifiée et que le message ne répond pas aux critères de filtrage. Le nom de la boîte à lettres de substitution est différent de celui de la première, et son adresse de réponse est mise à une adresse de messagerie électronique différente. La boîte à lettre de substitution est configurée pour recevoir les messages électroniques remis via le filtre et pour envoyer une réponse contenant une instruction humaine destinée à l'adresse de messagerie électronique du message électronique reçu, l'instruction humains indiquant une séquence mot-de-passe. L'invention constitue ainsi un procédé permettant de garantir la compatibilité entre tous les systèmes actifs de traitement des pourriels, ce qui permet d'éviter les rebouclages de retour et permet un déploiement massif de tels systèmes quelle que soit le procédé spécifique utilisé.
