7. Notes.
1. From original disclosure by Peter Kay:
"This core of invention modifies the traditional SMTP transaction in that
the MAIL FROM address is compared against a database of various rules
including a whitelist. The rules analysis decides whether to continue the
SMTP transaction, or if not, a 550 "no such user" response is given and the
transaction stops before the DATA command, effectively stopping unwanted
email before it is sent.
Depending on the rule conditions, an invitation email can be sent to the
MAIL FROM address asking the sender to identify themselves. Proper response
to the invitation email may allow the sender to be added to the whitelist
and subsequent emails can be sent without being rejected.
A functional layer atop the core provides a "VPM" (Virtual Private Email):
A user can create an email address and assign specific policies as to how
that email address can be used. Senders that violate the policy bound to
the email address are rejected with the 550 response before the DATA
command. This VPM invention addresses drawbacks associated with
Challenge/Response systems that make it difficult for users to subscribe to
newsletters or critical notification emails like order confirmations."
