Theres a need for 13 a registered email address as opposed to non-registered email address 14 to fight internet SPAM, as well as encouraging email use for personal, 15 commercial and legal and all kinds of purposes.An internet user 16 can have multiple email identities. This service implementation would also 17 help deliver a Single SignON solution for WWW services. 19 Status of This Memo 21 This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the 22 provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79. 24 Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering 25 Task Force (IETF).

General Information of the service ..........................2 55 4. Authors Addresses ...........................................3 56 5. Acknowledgements ............................................4 58 1. Introduction 60 To implement a WHois email address service in addition to WHois 61 domainname service. 63 2. Background 64 Currently a user can go to a service like http://www.whois.net 65 and lookup a domainname.If i query explodingmoon.org It would 66 output WHOIS Imformation for explodingmoon.org. 68 There has to be a way i can type in a valid email address as well 69 as input to WHois service. Currently no such email directory exists. 71 3. General Information of the service 72 A user is likely to have several email addresses that he or she 73 uses. A concept of primary email address can be used for the 74 Whois service. I am pradeep@explodingmoon.org as well as 75 pradeepan88@hotmail.com and pradeeplugimwidnaus@yahoo.com. 76 A user should be able to register his or her email address with 77 WHois registry and add other details about them. 78 A location field of the email address can be used to 79 implement email security. if my email is pradeep@explodingmoon.org 80 and i give my location as Thailand, my email service provider can 81 provide me additional security by restricting access from netherlands. 82 There could be any level of details. Registration of email addresses 83 in the registry can be via email or via webforms.A user choses what 84 information he or she choses to reveal. I can chose to reveal my contact 85 information.If I am pradeep@microsoft.com and i no longer have access 86 to microsoft.com because of leaving the company, a User can still 87 can query Whois pradeep@microsoft.com and get other email addresses 88 to continue any transactions. 90 I am a traveller suffering in nepal because i do not have seed cash 91 to handle many cash offers to my email address. I am now in a guest 92 house, tibetguesthouse.com and i owe them some dollars, one dollar 93 is 100 Nepali rupee.I send them an email with my Course on self exploration 94 and investment proposal to help me get to Thailand.Even if they cannot 95 help as an investor, theres no way they can know that i am some 96 one who created wealth and have to complete some pending transactions. 97 In my emails, whose password i do not want to share as an individual 98 wanting to keep my individuality ,theres pending transaction from 99 South Africa of 950000 US dollars, From citibank UK customers of more than 100 10 million and from HSBC bank customers of more than 10 million US 101 dollars. I am at risk of being held hostage because i owe a 100 102 dollars as they do not have any way to check through an email registry 103 of some contacts who can verify me as someone who of a certain amount 104 of personal wealth. The US Immigration has already tortured me. 105 I am a globe trotter hopper wanting an email registry service so some tribal 106 jurisdiction cannot harm me with their corrupt police stations.I was detained 107 couple of times in Immigration detentions where there was no way to 108 use email or WWW and i cannot forgive them, they are uneducated 109 wanting to use archaic laws and loopholes to harm wealthy beings 110 using groups that wont change their corrupt ways. 112 if i do a Whois of pradeepan88@hotmail.com in addition to my 113 publicly available information theres should be a credit agency 114 that can be contacted by email to know how much credit worthy i am. 115 The United States Social security system is abusing me and has abused 116 me using some criminal western medical practitioners already. I am 117 a bankrupt according to them and they are using corrupt United States 118 government authorities and corrupt Indian government authorities and 119 corrupt and clever Immigration authorities to murder me in palakkad, and 120 then some strange relatives can claim my emails. 121 I have reported that i need help to ic3.gov and its a US only service. 122 The private parties that has pending transactions to my email 123 should be forced to inform the credit agencies that this email is worth 124 this much. 126 Its probably still possible to telnet into a mailserver and send emails 127 and this is being exploited by many cybercriminals to SPAM email identities. 128 I am a victim of attacks because many criminals collecting money on 129 my behalf and when i tried to collect it, they have to discourage it 130 as SPAM. There should be someway this way of sending emails is not abused. 131 SPAMMERs or those who dont comply with rules set by agencies like ic3.gov 132 should be prevented from using internet. 134 There should be a way to send money to an EMail from a money order service. 135 I should be able to go into a Money order location and send money to an email 136 address. I am not getting money from either paypal or Western Union because of 137 of an ongoing financial crime. 139 There should be a policy on WWW email services by internet authorities. It should 140 allow only single logins and if the email identity has a clearance or need to be 141 in a certain IP range to view emails it need to be known to the email user. 142 I should be able to know that i am in Rishikesh now and i would not be able to see 143 many emails while in public internet centers and i would have to go to Delhi or 144 Thailand or US to see 50 more emails. Again theres no way i can associate additional 145 restrictions on an email identity now. Hotmail.com allowed me to create an account 146 but i should be able to associate my photo or a fingerprint with it and authenticate 147 to be compared with information available in whois pradeepan88@hotmail.com that only 148 pradeepan88@Hotmail.com can upload. Right now criminals working as US Immigration or 149 Thai Immigration can hold someone like me hostage and login to emails using some lawyers 150 and steal and expend anothers wealth. 152 4.Authors' Addresses 154 Pradeep Kumar Xplorer 155 EMail: pradeepan88@hotmail.com 156 URI: http://www.explodingmoon.org 157 http://www.dhyanayoga.info 158 5.Acknowledgement 160 I have been a publisher of http://www.dhyanayoga.info since 2004/2005 161 and http://www.explodingmoon.org since 2008. I have used bluehost.com 162 for hosting my website and have found the need to know who views my site, 163 their email addresses and not just IP address. Also i have been using 164 services of hotmail.com, yahoo.com, facebook.com and found the need for 165 a Single SignON to the WWW and an email registry and a concept of 166 primary email address is a precursor to that implementation.
