This is a list of email verification service (also known as challenge/response) providers. When an email arrives from an unknown sender, a reply email is sent back asking the sender to verify/authenticate either by simply clicking on a link, answering a simple question, typing in what can be seen in an image, typing in what can be heard in an audio file, or any other idea that these providers come up with.

| Spam Arrest |
|
When an email arrives from an unknown sender, a reply email is sent back asking the sender to verify themselves by clicking on a link to the Spam Arrest website. The link takes them to a page where they are instructed to type in a word that is shown in a picture. This step prevents automated systems, such as those used to send spam, from authorizing themselves, yet is very easy for any human to complete. Unverified emails are stored on the Spam Arrest website for 7 days, and you may review them at any time. You may also allow pre-authorized senders and mailing lists at any time, either by entering them individually or by uploading your entire address book.

| Mail UnKnown |
|
Mail Unknown gives you the power to control the emails you receive. All incoming emails are put on hold until the original sender has verified as a real email account and requests your permission to send you an email. You then validate them by Authorizing or Blocking them. If you block them, their emails are erased without you ever seeing them. If you authorize them to email you all emails past and future received from the sender will be delivered into your current email software or service.

| WithoutSpam |
|
| WithoutSpam uses a combination of unique technology and a human touch to defeat the exponentially increasing problem of spam. WithoutSpam will save you time and money and end the frustration of receiving constant unwanted emails. When a new message is sent to you, WithoutSpam checks to see if the sender is authorized to send you emails. If so, the email is placed in your inbox, with absolutely no delay. If the sender is blocked, the email is deleted immediately. If this is the first email from the sender, the email is held in a temporary holding location and the sender is sent an email with a challenge which only a human is capable of completing. The sender only needs to complete the challenge once, and their email, and all future emails that they send you, will immediately be placed in your inbox. You may also explicitly approve and block senders at any time.
