TOKYO, JAPAN, September 20, 2002 --- NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its eight regional subsidiaries announced today that they will begin providing 
users with a print out of header information contained in incoming e-mail as part of DoCoMo's continuous efforts to combat spam. Available nationwide from October 1, 2002, the new service will be applicable to e-mail sent from personal computers and handsets of other mobile telecommunications companies (excluding DoCoMo).
E-mail header information includes detailed data about the sender, such as IP address and server name. Access to this information will allow i-mode users to take necessary steps to block spammers. Users will only be required to pay postage for the print-outs.
NTT DoCoMo has been continuing to fight spam mail and phone scams by introducing innovative and convenient anti-spam/scam measures. This is the result of anti-spam legislation implemented in July, requiring that the Japanese term mishodaku kokoku ("unsolicited advertisement") and the mark
be placed in the subject line of spam mail. In addition to making header information available, DoCoMo will also begin automatically blocking any e-mail containing the unsolicited advertisement designation starting October 1, 2002.
