mail abuser protection system (MAPS)

Mail Abuser Protection System (MAPS) is a security feature used by email service providers to identify and block malicious or spam email senders. It analyzes email patterns, sender reputation, and behavior to determine if a sender is abusive or trustworthy. When a sender is flagged as harmful, MAPS can restrict or prevent their emails from reaching recipients, reducing spam, phishing, and fraud. This helps ensure a safer and more reliable email environment for users while allowing legitimate email traffic to pass through smoothly.
