Abstract

Network domain reputation-based spam filtering is described. In an embodiment, emails are received from a network domain and a reputation of the network domain is established. Additional emails are filtered as they are received to determine a status of each email as spam email or not spam email. An email can be determined to be a spam email based on any one or more of the reputation of the network domain, an authentication status of an email, and other information that can be derived from an email.
