Why Affini

Affini offers the first easy-to-use, complete solution to the spam problem for the end user — one that empowers both recipients and senders of desirable email communication while safeguarding their identity and privacy.

Affini has addressed not only the challenging task of stopping spam from reaching recipients, but the far more devastating collateral damage due to spam: trust on the Internet has been decimated; many people have abandoned their long-held email addresses and gone into hiding, or else adopted over-zealous spam filters. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult and often impossible to find and reach people using the Internet, resulting in many lost opportunities such as jobs.

By making it safe to have one's email address known, and by enabling legitimate senders to successfully contact Affini members, Affini has created a more open and connected Internet where more people can come together to share their knowledge. Affini is a free service that is founded on integrity, transparency, and respect for technology standards and the research community.
