ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are systems and methods that facilitate spam detection and prevention at least in part by building or training filters using advanced IP address and/or URL features in connection with machine learning techniques. A variety of advanced IP address related features can be generated from performing a reverse IP lookup. Similarly, many different advanced URL based features can be created from analyzing at least a portion of any one URL detected in a message.
