Abstract:

An electronic message system provides message filtering for allowing a supervisory user, e.g., a parent, to control the flow of messages to other users, such as a child. E-mail messages and/or instant messages from already approved senders are allowed to pass directly to the child's account. Messages from unapproved senders are forwarded to the parent's account for deletion or approval to forward to the child and/or prospective sender approval.
