Abstract
Secure safe sender lists are described. In an implementation, a method includes examining a message received from a sender via a network to determine which identifying mechanisms are available for verifying an identity of the sender. When one or more available identifying mechanisms are deemed sufficient to verify the identity, a description of the identity and a description of the one or more said available identifying mechanisms are added to a safe senders list.
