Abstract
An email proxy server receives a registration request from a client having a private email address. The proxy server generates a public email address and associates the public email address with the private email address. Upon receipt of a first email message from a sender having a sender address, the sender address is also associated with the public email address, and a new_from address is generated which is unique. The first and any subsequent email messages which are received with a sender of [email protected] and a recipient of [email protected] is sent to the registered recipient by the proxy, using associated sender [email protected] and registered address [email protected]. Any reply from the private sender carries the recipient [email protected] and sender [email protected], which are translated by the proxy to [email protected] and [email protected], respectively. In this manner, each public address is bound to the first respondent, and is only usable by that respondent.
