Abstract
An improved method for controlling a computer device user's email accessibility to an email receiver includes the steps of: (a) providing software configured to generate a unique email address link for use by the email sender, (b) configuring this email address link to include code that causes any email message created by the email sender to have included within it a token which identifies the email sender and causes the email server handling this message to communicate with the server on which the software is running for the purpose of receiving authorization from this server as to whether to deliver the email message to its intended receiver, and (c) establishing a set of rules which seeks to restrict the email message of spammers from being authorized for delivery to the email receiver.
