A system for regulating e-mail comprises a database of information profiling legitimate e-mail usage. When an e-mail is received at the system, it is scrutinized relative to the information in the database. If the e-mail is found to be legitimate based upon this evaluation, it is delivered to the intended recipient. If, however, the e-mail appears on the basis of the evaluation to be the last in a series of illegitimate e-mails or otherwise has characteristics inconsistent with the profile of legitimate e-mail usage, the e-mail may not be delivered and the postmaster and administrator at the source of the e-mail is contacted.

1. A method comprising: receiving, by a system including a processor, a first input that specifies an identifier that is unique to an electronic message source;receiving, by the system, a second input specifying target statistics for the electronic message source, wherein the target statistics operate as benchmarks for determining whether electronic messages received from the electronic message source are acceptable, the target statistics specifying a number of hops that an electronic mail message received has taken and an acceptable volume of electronic mail messages that may be received;maintaining, by the system, message statistics related to electronic messages received from the electronic message source;comparing, by the system, the message statistics to the target statistics; andperforming, by the system, an action with respect to an electronic message received from the electronic message source responsive to a determination, according to the comparing, that the message statistics for the electronic message source conflict with the target statistics for the electronic message source, the action comprising notifying a sender of the electronic message received that the message statistics for the electronic message source conflict with the target statistics for the electronic message source. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier identifies an IP address. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier identifies an internet domain. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the acceptable volume is designated according to different time periods. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the target statistics specify a type of attachment that may be included in an electronic mail message. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the target statistics specify a number of recipients of an electronic mail message. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the target statistics specify a size of an electronic mail message that may be received. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: registering the electronic message source; andgenerating a profile associated with the electronic message source, wherein the profile includes the message statistics. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: delivering the electronic message received to a recipient device. 10. An apparatus comprising: a processor; anda memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:accessing inputs that specify an identifier that is unique to an electronic message source and that specify target statistics for the electronic message source, wherein the target statistics operate as benchmarks for determining whether electronic messages received from the electronic message source are acceptable, the target statistics specifying a number of hops that an electronic mail message received has taken and an acceptable volume of electronic mail messages that may be received;comparing message statistics to the target statistics, wherein the message statistics are related to electronic messages received from the electronic message source; andperforming an action with respect to an electronic message received from the electronic message source responsive to a determination, according to the comparing, that the message statistics for the electronic message source conflict with the target statistics for the electronic message source, the action comprising notifying a sender of the electronic message received that the message statistics for the electronic message source conflict with the target statistics for the electronic message source. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the identifier identifies an IP address or an internet domain. 12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the target statistics further specify one of a type of attachment that may be included in an electronic mail message, a number of recipients of an electronic mail message, a size of an electronic mail message that may be received, or a combination thereof. 13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the operations further comprise: registering the electronic message source; andgenerating a profile associated with the electronic message source, wherein the profile includes the message statistics. 14. A machine-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: accessing inputs that specify an identifier that is unique to an electronic message source and that specify target statistics for the electronic message source, wherein the target statistics operate as benchmarks for determining whether electronic messages received from the electronic message source are acceptable;comparing message statistics to the target statistics, wherein the message statistics are related to electronic messages received from the electronic message source, the target statistics specifying a number of hops that an electronic mail message received has taken and an acceptable volume of electronic mail messages that may be received; andperforming an action with respect to an electronic message received from the electronic message source responsive to a determination according to the comparing that the message statistics for the electronic message source conflict with the target statistics for the electronic message source, the action comprising notifying a sender of the electronic message that the message statistics for the electronic message source conflict with the target statistics for the electronic message source. 15. The machine-readable storage device of claim 14, wherein the target statistics specify a size of an electronic mail message that may be received, a type of attachment that may be included in an electronic mail message, a number of recipients of an electronic mail message or a combination thereof.
