ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a system and method of dynamically managing spam directed to a communications device. In an embodiment, a contact for each incoming message item is compared to contacts on a whitelist. If the contact is not found on the whitelist, the contact is added to a blacklist based on predetermined criteria. At a selected time, a summary of each message item corresponding to a contact on the blacklist is made available to the communications device. Based on this summary, a user selects contacts to transfer from the blacklist to the whitelist. The user selection is received, and any message items corresponding to a contact on the whitelist are transmitted to the communications device.
