Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining if an e-mail originating from an external source is deemed malicious and thereby preventing an out of office e-mail reply. One example method includes receiving, at a computing device of a service provider, an e-mail identified as originating from an external source, scanning the e-mail to identify at least one parameter only when an out of office reply is setup by a recipient of the e-mail, comparing the at least one scanned parameter to a set of known parameters, calculating a score of the e-mail based on the comparison of the at least one parameter to a set of known parameters, determining the e-mail to be a malicious e-mail if the score exceeds a threshold value and blocking an out of office reply based on the threshold value.
