Abstract
A communication service is provided for monitoring recipient receptiveness of communications that are received from a sender. Based on feedback received from the recipients, the cost of utilizing the communication service may be adjusted. For example, in response to determining that one or more communications associated with a particular sender are identified by recipients as unwanted communications, the cost of utilizing the communication service may be adjusted based on whether the level of feedback exceeds a threshold.
