ABSTRACT:
A first communication manager (CM) equipped with the ability to dynamically maintain a first multiple of communication recipient distribution lists is provided to a computer system. The first CM is also provided with operational logic capable of being instructed to send a particular piece of communication to all members of a particularized one of the distribution lists by naming only the distribution list. In one embodiment, a second CM is further provided. The second CM is equipped with the ability to dynamically maintain a second multiple of communication recipient distribution lists, the second distribution lists being a superset of the first distribution lists. The second CM is further equipped to track whether a corresponding distribution list is maintained by the first CM for each of its distribution lists, and their usage counts by executing applications. Lastly, the second CM is further equipped to dynamically adjust its manner of instructing the first CM on recipients of communications.
