Abstract
Analyzing routing information to identify and intercept unauthorized, unwanted, and/or otherwise malicious communications is disclosed. In some embodiments, routing information associated with a message currently being processed is checked against corresponding information associated with a message from the same source that was processed previously. In some embodiments, a message processing system that handled and/or otherwise has access to routing information for both messages performs the check, such as a network messaging and/or access service provider with which the sender is associated, performs the check. If the routing information for the current message does not match the corresponding information observed in the previous message, responsive action is taken. Using routing information to determine whether a source of an infected message should be notified is disclosed. In some embodiments, if routing information for a prior message from the source of an infected message is similar to corresponding information for the infected message, the source is notified.
