works on a simple principal that is commonly used with Instant\r
Messenger (IM) clients such as AOL's Instant Messenger or\r
Microsoft's Messenger. That is that with most IM clients you need to\r
filter) which processes your email like so:</p>\r
\r
<ol>\r
+ <li>Extract senders email address - no sender address (and no envelope\r
+ address)? Discard the email</li>\r

- envelope address)? Discard the email</li>\r
+ <li>Check to see if the sender is on your white list - if so deliver the\r
+ mail</li>\r
\r
- <li>Check to see if the sender is on your null list - if so\r
- discard the email</li>\r
+ <li>Check to see if the sender is on your black list - if so return a\r
+ message telling the sender that s/he is blocked from emailing you.</li>\r

- typically do not read any email returning to them so they never\r
- register!</p>\r
+ <p>If you receive a bounce back/register email that means you are not yet on\r
+ my white list. You can register by clicking the link and then typing your\r
+ name. That's it! You will then be added to my white list and your previous\r
+ email will be delivered. Also, all future emails from your email address will\r
+ be automatically delivered. Note, I reserve the right to remove you from my\r
+ white list and optionally add you to my null or black lists.</p>\r

+ <p>Not much you can do. I've blacklisted you for a reason. I guess you could\r
+ attempt to contact me another way but chances are I also blocked you phone\r
