WHAT IS POSTMARKEDEMAIL

PostmarkedEmail is a new type of email that lets you know for certain that a message is real and safe to open.

Unlike regular email, which virtually anyone can send – and which virtually anyone can fake – PostmarkedEmail is a premium class of email available only to companies verified by Epostmarks and the US Postal Service. Postmarked Email is sent with a secure, tamper-proof seal and specially labeled – assuring you that an email is authentic.

This unique offering was created by Epostmarks in cooperation with the US Postal Service and Goodmail Systems. PostmarkedEmail adds the protections of the US Postal Service Electronic Postmark® to Goodmail System's CertifiedEmail. The Electronic Postmark® adds special legal protections to email, which are enforceable by the US Postal Inspection Service.

PostmarkedEmail lets you know a Message is real

PostmarkedEmail is delivered by Goodmail's CertifiedEmail system. Both PostmarkedEmail and CertifiedEmail eliminate the frustration of not knowing whether an email from your bank, online retailer, or non-profit is real or not – and the danger of accidentally responding to one that isn't.

If you have an email address with AOL or Yahoo!, you don't have to do anything special to be able to receive PostmarkedEmail – it's built right into your email. All you need to do is look for the blue ribbon envelope icon in your inbox and the USPS EPM logo in the body of the email. These icons mean the email is real, safe to open, and protected by US Postal Service Electronic Postmark®.

A PostmarkedEmail is valid only if you see both of the following

PostmarkedEmail is marked with a blue ribbon envelope in your inbox.

When you open a PostmarkedEmail, you'll see the US Postal Service Electronic Postmark® logo with the familiar “Blue Eagle” icon in the body of the email.

Note: to guard against fraudulent use of the US Postal Service EPM logo, be sure the blue ribbon envelope is in your inbox – Epostmarks will never send PostmarkedEmail that is not Certified by Goodmail Systems.
