Abstract
An arrangement for distributing information from Information Providers (IP) to Information Recipients (IR) that utilizes the email system and the Internet to communicate with popular hardware devices—computers, PDAs, cellular phones, etc. IRs receive information anonymously and only the information desired. IPs do not need to “spam” the world in the hope of getting their information into the right hands because it is organized in a manner that allows IRs to receive exactly what they are looking for. Information is provided by an IP to an IR in response to a request from an IR. A PR server organizes and stores information uploaded by IPs, retrieves information requested by an IR and sends an automated response to the IR. A web domain is associated with the PR server provides a common email addressing scheme for communicating between the PR server and the IRs.
