Veto mail is a new type of ANTI-SPAMMINING service....
The concept is that eventually a database is built up of valid e-mail
addresses and therefore only the e-mail you want actually gets to
your mailbox. This is based on the fact that the majority of
unwanted e-mail
(SPAM) has an invalid return e-mail address.

However... is this another form of BIG BROTHER watching... judge
for yourself look at the site http://www.vetomail.com
the service is free only for the first 30 days.

I know I will not be using it... and that's my recommendation

However if you really desire to communicate with the person who is
using this service then you must reply to the message from
VETOMAIL... otherwise your e-mail will not be delivered.
