A method and apparatus for mitigating unwanted communication are
disclosed. A request to establish communications is received at a first
Protection Against Unsolicited Communications in Internet Protocol
Multimedia Subsystem (PUC) server. The PUC server determines whether to
block the communication. If the communication is blocked, the sender is
informed and a record of the blocked communication may be stored.
Alternatively, the communication may be delivered to a subsequent PUC
server (along with appended information about the sender), the receiver
or sent to storage.
