Abstract

A proximity policy associated with an electronic message, e.g., an email, can be used to identify prohibited nodes in a social network data structure. The prohibited nodes are of users that are to not receive the electronic message. A graphical user interface element can be used to select a value from a range of values, where the value identifies nodes in the social network as the prohibited nodes.
