ABSTRACT:
A message manager monitors incoming e-mail messages. The message manager determines whether the from field of each incoming e-mail message indicates that the e-mail message originates from a recognized domain. Responsive to determining that the from field indicates that the e-mail originates from a recognized domain, the message manager compares at least one domain associated with at least one link found embedded in the text of the e-mail message to a list of authorized domains. Based on the results of the comparison, the message manager determines whether the e-mail message originates from a recognized domain.
