A method that enables multiple spam detection solutions to be deployed in amanageable and rational manner to determine if a message is spam is presented.A framework invokes anti-spam filters to analyze the message and returnconfidence levels of whether a message is spam. The framework evaluates thehighest confidence level against a set of defined thresholds. If the highestconfidence level is greater than the highest threshold set by theadministrator, the action specified for the highest threshold is taken. Thehighest confidence level is also compared against all thresholds and theaction associated with the nearest threshold that has been exceeded is taken.
