Tokyo, September 26, 2001 -- KDDI Corp. and the wireless au group will from the end of December, launch a protection system to protect users of its c-mail wireless text messaging service against spam e-mail.
A part of the security plan will be to halt the function on c-mail that allows users to receive e-mail sent over the internet as a text message to a previously arranged e-mail address. This will prevent people from sending spam e-mail from computers to e-mail addresses used by c-mail.
| * |
e-mail receiving addresses are 090XXXXXXXX@cmail.ido.ne.jp for the Kanto, Chubu areas, and 090XXXXXXXX@ ct.dion.ne.jp for all other areas. (where differs from place to place) |
| * |
If customers have above the addresses as notification address for emails that are received over the EZweb wireless internet service, (users whose email is received on EZweb are notified through c-mail) they can keep using the service. |
| * |
Following the start of the security plan, the Internet Assist and EVmail optional services which notify incoming emails will also finish operating. |
KDDI already offers the following protection on the EZweb internet service for au cellular phone users.
| 1. |
Users can customize e-mail addresses.

| 2. |
