I wasn't aware that could even be done...I was under the impression that you were actually creating the email accounts with a password and then setting up the forward...

It's called permission based filtering. When you receive spam it is mostly sent by computers that can't respond to these types of requests. Most programs like this will automatically authorize the person based on the fact that they replied to that permission message. ChoiceMail however leaves it up to the person using the program if they want to accept or deny someone. I personally don't have that particular feature turned on. I didn't want family and friends getting strange messages about submitting further info just to e-mail me. However, every message I receive that is from someone that I don't know I have to decide where they go.
