Abstract

A method for mitigating outbound electronic message spam includes determining whether an outbound electronic message to a recipient sent from an electronic messaging account of a sender has at least a predetermined number of indicators of compromise. The outbound electronic message is sent to the recipient using an IP address from a first pool of service delivery IP addresses based on a determination that the message has less than the predetermined number of indicators of compromise. The outbound electronic message is sent to the recipient using an IP address from a second pool of service delivery IP addresses based on a determination that the message has at least the predetermined number of indicators of compromise. The method may further include providing a notification of a possible compromise of the electronic messaging account and the notification may include a request to modify a security feature of the electronic messaging account.
