Abstract
Techniques to select and prioritize the application of spam filtering rules in a way that reduces processing time may include receiving an email message for a recipient at a spam filter and extracting email characteristics from the message. Global filtering rule statistics and a profile for the recipient may be retrieved. The technique may include selecting a subset of rules from a set of filtering rules according to the email characteristics, the global filtering rule statistics, and/or the recipient characteristics. The subset of rules may be prioritized and applied to the message from highest priority to lowest until a determination of whether the message is spam is reached. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
