Abstract

A system for managing electronic messages (24) is disclosed. Recipients (22, 26, 28) of electronic messages may define a set of rules for accepting incoming messages. These rules are applied by a message distributor (18) at substantially the initial point of distribution so that delays in routing messages are reduced. Additionally, network (14) traffic may be reduced because message routing is more direct.
