Description
It’s just an idea!! (For business issue only)

I was thinking about a new email kind that means nobody from internet can send me an e-mail if he doesn’t know my email secret code.

All email codes will be stored on file on the mail server (in a secure place) every time we receive an email we should check if there it contains a code if yes we compare with codes on the file;


If match === > e-mail OK, and will be delivered!!

If not match === > e-mail not ok, and we have 2 options, discard the email (spam) or forward it to a non-secure email address for an other checkup (spamc, mailfitre, clamv…etc..etc).

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ *

A lot of people can know who you are in real life, but they can’t call you (you got cellular = email) simply because they don’t have you phone number (code) , or they can’t send to you a letter even if they know you location but not house number (code) !!

You only receive calls from persons that you gave your phone number, why not for e-mail??


Sorry for my English :o) Anyway it’s just an idea…

Actually, I've only used telephones where you can recieve calls from anybody.

If you want to implement this, just delete all email that doesn't contain the code. Pretty simple as far as email filtering goes.

And if you'd like secure mail, you could use pgp
