Here's how it works: Spam mailers use automated software to send millions of e-mails. Joi Internet "Friends & Foes" mail system sends an automated reply asking the mailer to confirm that the sender is legitimate. To get the e-mail through, the mailer has to respond to the system simply by hitting the reply button. Since "spam" messages do not have a valid return email address, their annoying and often pornographic content will never be delivered.

Once a sender is verified by Joi's "Friends and Foes" system, the sender's email address is placed in the user's "Friends" list, mail from that person zips to the in-box without going through the confirmation system ever again. A unique feature of Joi's "Friends & Foes," a user can place an approved "Friend" on the "Foe" list and stop all future e-mails from the sender, until the user places the sender back on the "Friends" list. The e-mail filtering system is Web-based, so it will work with any type of computer and you can manage the "Friends & Foes" filter from anywhere.

Joi "Friends & Foes" will add strength to the fight against spammers and unwanted forced advertising. Joi is committed to providing its customers, "Absolutely, The Best Possible Internet Service for The Best Possible Price, Always," said David Norman, Joi Internet Vice President of Marketing.
