Methods and systems are provided for delaying local information classification until global intelligence has an opportunity to be gathered. According to one embodiment, an initial information identification process, e.g., an initial spam detection, is performed on received electronic information, e.g., an e-mail message. Based on the initial information identification process, classification of the received electronic information is attempted. If the received electronic information cannot be unambiguously classified as being within one of a set of predetermined categories (e.g., spam or clean), then an opportunity is provided for global intelligence to be gathered regarding the received electronic information by queuing the received electronic information for re-evaluation. The electronic information is subsequently classified by performing a re-evaluation information identification process, e.g., re-evaluation spam detection, which provides a more accurate categorization result than the initial information identification process. Handling the electronic information in accordance with a policy associated with the categorization result.
