Abstract
The present invention provides for a centralized, preprocessing electronic messaging solution that performs value-added tasks to electronic messages on behalf of the ISP or the end user, before these messages are delivered to the destination email server. The service can detect and detain damaging or unwanted messages, such as spam, viruses or other junk email messages, and route electronic messages from various sources covering a variety of topics to wired and wireless destinations, apart from the intended recipient email address, in various formats.
