An illegal electronic mail is suppressed from being transmitted by a computer virus, using an electronic mail apparatus ( 1 ) having a mail checking part ( 5 ). The mail checking part ( 5 ) determines whether or not an electronic mail scheduled to be transmitted is an illegal one caused by a computer virus. The determination by the mail checking part ( 5 ) is performed by displaying the contents of the electronic mail on a display apparatus ( 11 ), and requesting the authentication of personal identification and the confirmation of whether or not a user intends to transmit the electronic mail, with respect to the user. In the case of having received a response to the effect that the user is identified, and a response to the effect that the electronic mail is intended to be transmitted from an input device by the user, from a personal identification authenticating part ( 6 ), the mail checking part ( 5 ) determines that the electronic mail is not an illegal one, and transmits the electronic mail.
