ABSTRACT:
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.
