Tour 2: But how do my friends and colleagues send me email? Jump to Next Tour

Hi and welcome back. Your next tour is about to begin. During Tour 2, our hero, mailDuster, demonstrates how you use mailduster.com when communicating with your friends and colleagues. For those of you who jumped right to Tour 2, let's re-introduce our cast. If you think you need a refresher about how mailDuster eliminates spam, get in line for Tour 1.

The tour cast:

This tour begins as we see one of your friends composing an email to you. For our tour, we are going to assume that this friend has never sent you email before.



Unlike our evil spammer in Tour 1 , your friend presses the "send message" button delivering just one email.

Your friend's email is delivered to your email box at your local ISP and sits waiting for you to pick it up. Remember our hero mailDuster? mailDuster sends a reply back to your friend with instructions describing how to request permission to have the email delivered.

Your friend quickly receives a message referring him to a web address where he types in his name and a short message identifying himself.


You then receive a message from mailDuster asking whether or not this person is allowed to send emails to your account. If so, they are added to your allow list (white list), and if not, they are added to your deny list (black list) never to be heard from again! See you later alligator. Didn't we tell you the Internet could be fun again?

If you did choose to receive messages from your friend, mailDuster allows the email to be delivered your email program! (i.e. Outlook, Outlook Express, Entourage, Eudora, Apple Mail, Netscape )

You get the email! And your friend is now allowed to freely send you emails under the careful watch of mailDuster.
