Abstract

Methods and systems for operation upon one or more data processors that classify communications from messaging entities. A method can include receiving a communication that was sent from a messaging entity. A plurality of message classification techniques is used to classify the communication. Each message classification technique is associated with a confidence value which is used in generating a message classification output from the message classification technique. The message classification outputs are combined in order to generate a message profile score. The message profile score is used in deciding what action is to be taken with respect to the communication associated with the messaging entity.
