Abstract: A method of enabling a server to contact an unknown Internet account holder can begin with the server receiving a request for a resource. The server then determines whether the request for the resource warrants sending a notice, and if so, identifies a notice destination to which the notice is to be sent. The server then generates a notice comprising an apparent IP address, a time the server received the request, and a communication; and sends the notice to the notice destination via a standardized communications pathway. An ISP can receive a notice from the server via the standardized communication pathway, and based thereon can identify the account holder based the requesting IP and optionally the request time. The ISP can then send the account holder the communication by an arranged manner despite the server not having known the identity of the account holder.
