Abstract
An augmented router that reads and analyzes asserted source and asserted destination of a message, selected message metadata, message data type and other relevant message attributes to determine (i) whether the message is proper to deliver to the asserted destination, (ii) whether the asserted source is, or should be, quarantined and (iii) whether message format should be converted between Web mail and Small Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). The augmented router optionally accumulates statistics on messages that are forwarded, and on messages that the router declines to forward.
