one or more memories; and
at least one processor each coupled to at least one of the one or more memories and configured to perform operations comprising:
transmitting, over a network, a message request to a messaging server;
receiving a message response from the messaging server in response to the message request, wherein the message response comprises a message and a messenger identifier;
generating a hash value of an identifier associated with the system and the messenger identifier, wherein the identifier associated with the system specifies a user of the system;
determining the message maps into a control group by determining the hash value maps into the control group; and
transmitting an indication that the message was withheld for processing to the messaging server based at least in part on the determination that the message maps into the control group.
