Also, notify friends with free e-cards! [free to you and your friends] - Stay Informed - Allow your e-mail subscriptions to access your updated address. [only for those subscription sources who sign up with Veripost to pay for this privilege, and per your choosing of that level of permission for address notification] - Stay in Control - You decide who gets your e-mail address. [two levels of permission: let everyone who emails know, or tell me who is asking, then I decide] http://www.veripost.net/how_it_works/ Change Your E-mail, Keep Your Contacts[trademark]. Veripost helps keep you in touch with family, friends, business associates and online subscriptions after an e-mail address change. So how does the system work? - First, register with Veripost.
