Apparatus and method for precluding e-mail distribution

E-mail addresses are converted by a hashing function into hash codes. An e-mail mass mailer that can have millions of addresses hash codes all addresses to which a message might be sent to form a first list. An entity that wishes to exclude delivery of a message to various e-mail addresses, hash codes such addresses to form a second list. Hash codes in the first list that are also in the second list are purged from the first list to yield a third list of hash codes, each of which represents an e-mail address to which a message may be sent.

Junk mail rejection system

To provide a junk mail rejection system which can effectively reject junk mail in electronic mail. When junk mail transmitted from many and unspecified persons is sent to a first electronic mail address registered in a first mail distribution service center, sources of the junk mail are not acceptable electronic mail addresses, and a reception enable unit rejects receiving the junk mail, thereby avoiding transmission of the junk mail to subscribers. On the other hand, the electronic mail transmitted from many and unspecified persons and not to be rejected by the reception enable unit is transmitted to a second electronic mail address. The electronic mail to the second electronic mail address received by a second mail distribution service center is forwarded to a third mail distribution service center, and a replacement unit replaces a source with an acceptable electronic mail address registered in the first mail distribution service center, and the electronic mail is transmitted to the first mail distribution service center. Since the source is set to an acceptable electronic mail address, the reception enable unit in the first mail distribution service center enables reception, and a subscriber can receive the electronic mail.

Method and System for Sorting Incoming Mail

A method and system for sorting mailpieces in a single pass is provided. The system consists of a mail feeding unit, a mail scanner and a mail distribution unit having a number of receiving bins. Mailpieces are fed into the system one at a time through the scanner to determine the mailstop of the mailpiece. A control system assigns unique mailstops to unique receiving bins. Each mailpiece is deposited in a receiving bin assigned with its mailstop. When the number of mailstops exceeds the number of receiving bins, the control system empties a receiving bin and assigns the new mailstop to the emptied bin so it can receive mailpieces having the new mailstop. Accordingly, the system can sort mail destined for “m” mailstops into “n” receiving bins where “m” is greater than “n”.
