So you are claiming that nobody before Jan 2000 did selective
blocking based on both the recipient and sender prior to the
DATA statement? Or is "user-controlled" specifically part of
the patent?
Our fundamental claim is based on an authorized sender list for a given
user. The additional claims talk about whitelisting, blacklisting,
challenge/response, and dynamic updating of that database based on sent
mail.
