A multi-test management of unwanted, unsolicited e-mail for potential SPAM wherein components of an e-mail from a sender directed to a recipient comprising any one of an envelope, one or more headers or a body, the sender having a sender identity are used to verify the sender identity. When the sender identity is verified, a first SPAM management process is performed on the e-mail. When, however, the verifying step fails to verify the sender identity a second SPAM management process is performed on the e-mail.
