A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11930018B2) outlines a method and system for managing electronic messages based on classification. The method involves receiving an electronic message without an explicit sender indication of a classification, determining the classification using a machine learning scanner trained on a set of messages with explicit classifications, and taking appropriate action based on the classification. The system includes a processor and computer-readable medium with instructions for implementing the method, allowing for efficient message management based on learned classifications.

Furthermore, the patent details the use of a remote email gateway to provide machine learning policies for message classification. The system can process messages with classifications such as encryption, quarantine, archive, or brand, based on identifiers associated with the sender or sender group. Additionally, the system allows for the bypassing of the classification scanner for messages with explicit sender indications of classification, streamlining the process of taking action on messages based on their determined classifications. Overall, the patented method and system offer a sophisticated approach to managing electronic messages efficiently and effectively based on learned classifications and sender indications.
