Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments provide IP address partitioning features that can be used to source outbound email communications, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, a computer-based method operates to remove blocked or potentially misused IP addresses from a partition and/or move good or reputable IP addresses from other partitions to account for volumetric shortfalls. A method of one embodiment operates to repair removed IP address reputations as part of recycling and reusing IP addresses. A system of an embodiment is configured in part to remove misused IP addresses from one or more partitions, source reputable IP addresses from other partitions, and/or repair and reuse IP addresses as needed. Other embodiments are included.
