Remembering that I'm not a patent attorney, I don't think that what you describe is what the patent application in question describes. The patent application seems to describe one of two ways in which you can get email to me: 1) going to a web based form and sending me email - no trustcode needed or 2) sending me email through SMTP using a trustcode in part of the email address TMDA does #2, but I can't ever see TMDA doing #1. Since TMDA doesn't meet all of the claims it can't possibly infringe. So my instinct is to ignore it. It doesn't apply and doesn't look like it ever will. But what do I know? I'm no patent atty and my interpretation of what the patent should be given the same value as my solutions for global world peace.
