Abstract
A request to send messages is received by a sender messaging service from a sender. The messages are for one or more recipients associated with one or more recipient messaging services. The sender messaging service can determine that at least one of the plurality of messages is indicative of message abuse.

- detect message abuse associated with at least one of the plurality of messages associated with the messaging account;
- determine whether the message abuse associated with the messaging account is repetitive;
- determine whether to suspend the messaging account of the sender;
- and
