Abstract: An electronic message system that includes a messaging infrastructure to transport an electronic message, where the message includes a message header, a first messaging agent and a second messaging agent in communication with the messaging infrastructure, and a message server to route the message from the first messaging agent to the second messaging agent, where the network server is in communication with the messaging infrastructure, and where the message header is encrypted when being transported by the messaging infrastructure. Also, a method of transporting an electronic message, that includes sending the message from a sender to a message server, where the message server verifies the sender is a sending agent that is registered with the message server, decrypting a message header in the message to ascertain the recipients to receive the message, verifying the recipients are recipient agents that are registered with the message server, and sending the message.
