Abstract

Techniques are disclosed herein for systematically tracking the entire forwarding flow of an electronic message, such as an email. A determination is made to track an electronic message prior to it being relayed to an intended recipient. When the electronic message is forwarded by the intended recipient, a feedback message is sent by the forwarder to the originator of the electronic message. This may be used to allow the original author to review and authorize recipients of the forwarded message. The original author need not know up front to whom the message might be forwarded. Note that this not only provides security, but also provides for fine grained system for tracking the flow of messages, such as sensitive emails. The system can automatically assess the risk of authorizing the recipient to whom the message was forwarded to have access to the content based on machine learning, rules, etc.
