A classification system has a classification server that receives data for an email and determines if the email message is suspicious, legitimate but failing authentication, forwarded or fully authenticated and legitimate when the domains are owned, or not owned, by the domain owner. Email messages are categorized and presented in a report that enables the email sender to identify and fix a network, malicious traffic, and legitimate messages that have failed authentication beyond control. It also highlights where everything is going well.

Real-time classification of email message traffic

A system monitor delivery of electronic mail based on subscriber and seed deliverability data. Seed deliverability data is received that includes information indicating a number of email messages associated with an email campaign that are delivered to a folder associated with one or more intended recipients of the email campaign based on a sampling of seed accounts. The seed accounts are not associated with actual recipients of the email campaign. Subscriber deliverability data is received that includes information indicating a number of email messages associated with the email campaign that are delivered to a folder associated with the one or more intended recipients of the email campaign based on one or more subscriber accounts. The seed accounts are associated with a subset of human recipients of the email campaign. One or more deliverability metrics are determined based on the seed deliverability data and the subscriber deliverability data.

The present invention provides various embodiments of a system and a process for updating e-mail and other forms of electronic messages via a change of address network. In one embodiment, the system includes a Sponsor Database (containing mailbox/address information utilized by a Sponsor to send information to a recipient) connected to a Network Server which receives updates of mailbox/address changes from recipients and, in certain embodiments, other Sponsors. In other embodiments, a Reconnection Manager facilitates the exchange of information between the Sponsors and the Network Server. Also, one embodiment of the process provides updated mailbox/address information to those Sponsors which a recipient has previously identified to the Network Server as being acceptable for receiving the update information. The invention also provides various embodiments by which a recipient may register change of address information with the Network Server and processes utilized by the Network Server to verify such registrations are valid.
