ABSTRACT:
A method and system are disclosed for automatically transmitting a message to the originator of an electronic document from an intended recipient upon a failure of the system to successfully deliver that document. In one embodiment of the present invention, a user is prompted to enter a selected message in response to any action which disables the delivery of an electronic document. Thereafter any attempted delivery of an electronic document will result in an automatic transmittal of the selected message to the originator of the electronic document. Additionally, the user may specify that the selected message is to be transmitted to a selected group of document originators and no others; that the selected message is to be transmitted only in response to a particular type of delivery failure; or, that the selected message is only valid during a selected time frame. In this manner an intended recipient may selectively notify the originator of an electronic document of the reasons for a failure of delivery and the likely duration of such failure. In data processing systems in which a recipient may specify the automatic deletion from his or her in-basket of an electronic document upon the elapsing of a specified delivery time or other specified reasons, the recipient may also elect to have a message automatically transmitted to one or more originators of deleted documents.
