Abstract:
A method for filtering unsolicited emails may comprise dynamically aggregating historical email data associated with a user or a group of users and dynamically determining one or more trusted trends criteria associated with the historical email data. The method may further comprise receiving a new email addressed to the user or the group of users, calculating a score associated with the new email based on the one or more trusted trends criteria, determining that the score is above a predetermined threshold score, and, based on the determination, selectively filtering the new email.
