Abstract
A method allows for the communication of an electronic message between an enrolled user linked to a computer network and an unenrolled recipient. A recipient is designed for delivery of an electronic message from an enrolled user of a computer network. It is determined if the designated recipient is an enrolled user in the computer network. Then, in the event the designated recipient is not an enrolled user of the computer network, it is determined automatically whether the designated recipient has a designated intermediary linked to the computer network for receipt of the electronic message. The electronic message is directed from the enrolled user through the computer network to the unenrolled recipient in care of the designated intermediary.
