See full text

The present invention provides for methods and computer programs for filtering instant messages sent to a recipient. An initial instant message is received from a sender, intended for the recipient. Then, a reply message is sent to the sender requesting that the sender perform a verification process. The method monitors for an incoming response message from the sender, and when the incoming response message is received, the method determines whether the sender properly completed the verification process.
