Abstract
A method may include receiving an outbound communication directed to one or more recipient addresses from a communications infrastructure hosting the true address for the user. A server or similar intermediary may generate an alias address for each recipient address in an outbound communication so that each recipient may communicate with the true address using a unique reply channel. A discrete security state may be assigned as a security attribute to each such alias address. The discrete security state, which can be controlled by the user and stored, e.g., at the intermediate server, establishes rules for controlling communications from one of the recipient addresses through the communications infrastructure to the true address via one of the alias addresses. Once an alias and a security state are assigned in this manner to facilitate handling of responsive communications, the outbound communication may be forwarded to recipient addresses through the communication network.
