What
are CaseKeys?
CaseKeys are a randomly
generated unique mixture of uppercase and lowercase characters such as
dOs@CoMaND.CoM. The idea is to use the "case" of the
characters in the persons email address to differentiate instances of
the same email address that have previously been "issued".
Below is a screen shot of how you
can view and or issue new CaseKeys. This particular CaseKey was automatically generated with an out-going email sent via

CaseKeys dialog within
How
does CaseKey technology work?
CaseKey technology utilizes the thousands of unique "Case
Combinations" that can be used to represent the same email
address to fraught spammers in the same way that periodically
changing your email address does.
A
typical CaseKey may look like this: ADrIAn@GeoBYTes.CoM
But
unlike periodically changing your email address, utilizing CaseKey technology
does not inconvenience your friends or clients. Better still,
as CaseKeys are automatically inserted into all of the
messages that you send, and are consequently preserved when
replied to or stored in address books, they don't inconvenience
you either.
While
they are just as effective as changing your email address,
they avoid the hassle of doing so, and with over 270,000
combinations contained within your typical email address, you
are unlikely to run out of "unique addresses".
What
are the Advantages of having a CaseKeyed Email Address?
You can issue permanent or temporary keys that will automatically
expire You can turn your email address into a key You can lock your
email address - only those with a valid key can send you email without
being subjected to sender verification Works with all major e-zines.
Can
I use this with E-Zines?
Yes, you just issue a CaseKeyed email address to the e-zine when you
sign up and that is all that is required. One of the disadvantages of
using a traditional sender verification system is when the user wants
to subscribe to an e-zine. It is common for e-zine providers to use
automated subscription processes which are not capable of responding
to the sender verification system's request for verification, making
it necessary for the user to manaually white list the e-zine provider.
Further, in many cases white listing the e-zine provider's email
address is not possible as many e-zine providers frequently change the
"From address" that the sender verification system uses to
verify the sender.
How
do I issue a CaseKey?
You use the Issue New CaseKey Dialog
box to issue a new CaseKey for the selected account.
To issue a new CaseKey click the ‘Issue’ button on the CaseKeys
Dialog or click on the ‘Issue new CaseKey’ button on the toolbar.

You can select when a CaseKey expires by selecting a date on the calendar – by default a new CaseKey is set to ‘Never
Expire’.
