Abstract
Systems and methods for spam detection within electronic messages transported over a communication network. One embodiment is a spam center that connects to multiple entities of a communication network that handle electronic messages, such as text messages. The spam center receives spam reports from the entities that detect spam in prior electronic messages, analyzes the spam reports to generate spam filtering rules based on the spam detected in the prior electronic messages. The spam center then distributes the spam filtering rules to one or more of the entities. The entities may then use to spam filtering rules to filter spam out of electronic messages that subsequently received.
