摘要： Techniques to allocate virtual network addresses are described. An apparatus may include a virtual network address management module. The virtual network address management module may be capable of determining an approximate age for a virtual network address, referred to herein as a virtual network address age value. The virtual network address management module may include a virtual network address assignment module, a virtual network address age generator and a message filter module. The virtual network address assignment module may be arranged to assign a virtual network address to a device at a virtual network address assignment time. The virtual network address age generator may be arranged to receive a message arrival time for a message with the virtual network address, and determine a virtual network address age value for the virtual network address with the virtual network address assignment time and the message arrival time. The message filter module may be arranged to determine whether to send the message to the device based on the virtual network address age value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： A processor 104 executes computer-executable instructions to receive messages 302; store 304 the received messages in a foreground memory 108; process 306 the stored messages in the foreground memory 108; send 306 the processed messages; move 308 the sent messages to a background memory 110; evaluate 310, 312 the messages in the background memory with respect to a parameter; and delete 314 selected messages in the background memory as a function of the evaluating. Alternatively, a message queue may be used to track lost messages.

摘要： An asynchronous conversation state machine asynchronously sends and asynchronously receives messages for storing in batches in an intermediate storage. A synchronous storage engine receives the batches of messages from the intermediate storage. Particular batches of messages are stored in the storage engine based on their parameters.

摘要： The present invention allows for remotely and securely configuring settings for targeted devices within a network with multiple security-trust boundaries. Configuration information is encoded in messages that are digitally signed to ensure the integrity of the configuration information and sent in accordance with a standard messaging transport protocol. By utilizing an already existing port of the standard messaging transport protocol, e.g., SMTP, the number of open ports for configuration purposes is minimized. Further, example embodiments take advantage of hidden fields, i.e., machine readable fields that contain metadata that by default are not presented at a client user interface, for encoding the configuration or command/control information within the messages. The present invention further provides for a central console module that can manage and report on the status of the configuration settings for a plurality of targeted devices that an authorized user or system administrator has attempted to remotely configure.

摘要： Multiple independent MTAs transmit messages such that if one of the MTAs fails, the other MTAs may continue to transmit messages. Multiple independent message stores are provided such that if one of the message stores fails, messages on the other message stores may continue to be transmitted. Multiple notification agents monitor the message stores for new messages and notify one of the MTAs when a new message is available for transmission.

摘要： The present invention provides for methods, systems, and computer program products for ensuring that sensitive subject matter within electronic messages is not inappropriately transferred between domains with differing security rights. The present invention utilizes the appropriate placement of message transfer agents or servers along with policy documents that include configurable semantics pattern recognition data for identifying deviant messages. Once deviant messages or messages that potentially have sensitive subject matter are identified, the present invention further provides for adaptable actions or remedies for ensuring that the sensitive subject matter is not inappropriately transferred between domains.

摘要： Techniques for eliminating duplicate/redundant scanning of email messages while the email message traverses the various servers within an email infrastructure are provided. Some techniques utilize a message hygiene stamp that is transported with the email message as the email message enters an enterprise and is routed within the enterprise until the email message reaches the end user inbox. The filters comprise logic that enables the filters to annotate the result of their filtering or other processing in corresponding message hygiene stamps. The message hygiene stamps allow the filters to determine whether the email message has already been processed by the filter within the email infrastructure.

摘要： Within a mail transfer agent of a message transfer system, a message is received and if the recipient entity resolves to a number of recipients exceeding a specified quantity, the original message is not processed. Instead, at least two messages are created, with each of the created messages addressed to a subset of the original set of recipients. The created messages are returned to the calling module for processing.
