The invention covers certain improvements to the Internet methods of handling "stray" email messages, which are sent to old "invalid" email addresses. It provides means and methods to salvage such stray messages. It proposes to establish a depository center, to store information in database files, to be referred to as the XMAIL(TM) Database, correlating old "invalid" addresses of participating users to their corresponding new "valid" addresses. Also a new host computer, to be referred to as the XMAIL(TM), would be created to handle the XMAIL(TM) Database and the stray mail procedure. On demand and according to the wishes of the participants, the XMAIL(TM) center can provide the necessary information to help in forwarding/delivering such stray messages to their intended recipients. Also on demand, the new addresses can be given to, or withheld from, the senders, to honor the wishes of the participating recipients. The proposed system can lead to creating what could be called a Universal Email Address or a Universal ID System.
