New Service Offers Globally Accessible Spam-Free E-mail

MailCircuit.com Utilizes Unique Proprietary Technology to Keep Bulk E-mail

at Bay

Annapolis, MD - MailPort25 Inc., the owner of Spam Recycle.com, today

unveiled MailCircuit.com [mailcircuit.com, a spam-free, web-based e-mail

service to compete with HotMail, Yahoo and other web-based e-mail

services. Unlike other e-mail services, MailCircuit utilizes a new,

patent-pending technology to keep virtually all bulk e-mail at bay while

letting the e-mail messages users actually want get through.

"With both spam filters and Congress failing to adequately protect e-mail

users from the predatory marketing practice of spamming, the time has come

to give users control of their inboxes," said Stan Weatherby, executive

director of MailCircuit.com. "That is why we are offering MailCircuit to

users. With MailCircuit, users get the e-mail they want while stopping the

mail they hate."

The MailCircuit.com e-mail system utilizes a "handshake verification"

process to sort out the bulk spam e-mail from regular e-mail. In this

process, any e-mail sent to a MailCircuit account is immediately compared

to a list of acceptable addresses indicated by the MailCircuit user. The

system also utilizes a system-wide block that cross-references all

incoming mail against a very large database of known spammers.

If the sender isn't on the user's acceptable list, the sender immediately

gets an e-mail from the MailCircuit system asking them to verify that they

are a real person and not a bulk mailer. If they respond correctly, the

mail is allowed to pass through the MailCircuit system to the user's

inbox. This is a one-time process. After a sender verifies, they are

automatically added to that MailCircuit user's verified list and need

never verify again.

All unverified messages are held in a special "unverified messages" folder

that is accessible by the MailCircuit user. The user can either scan those

messages or ignore them; it's their choice. After a predetermined number

of days, those unverified messages are deleted and automatically forwarded

to the Spam Recycling Center [SRC where they are used for spam research

and are forwarded to the Federal Trade Commission and Congress to help

illustrate the growing problem of spam.

One of the additional problems with spam is the proliferation of

viruses. Mailcircuit users get added protection with e-mail virus

scanning from Sophos -- giving Mailcircuit users the peace of mind they

deserve from their e-mail provider.

"This system is ideal for individuals and families who are tired of

sifting through the piles of porno ads and e-mail scams that are flooding

their inboxes," said Weatherby. "Users can block specific addresses,

access multiple accounts, even download mail from other POP 3 enabled

e-mail addresses. This system is the definition of e-mail user empowerment."

The biggest problem with spam is that it shifts the cost of advertising on

to the consumer. The consumer is paying for access to their e-mail so they

shouldn't be asked to pay the way for spammers as well. That is one of the

greatest strengths of MailCircuit.com; for $15 dollars a year, it protects

consumers and automatically fights back against the spammers by forwarding

their unwanted ads to the Spam Recycling Center.

If you would like to see the verification system in action, just send an

e-mail message to pressdemo@MailCircuit.com and wait. You will receive a

verification e-mail in just a few seconds. Follow the instructions to see

just how easy the system is to use.
