ABSTRACT:
A method and system for sending electronic mail from clients of a client-server architecture using broadcast/multicast messaging software. In a representative embodiment, the system includes a plurality of clients each containing broadcast/multicast messaging software, data processing software, and a client application program interface (API); a messaging server containing broadcast/multicast messaging software and an email API; and an email server containing email software. In a representative embodiment of the method, the data processing software composes an email and forwards the email to the client API, the client API instructs the broadcast/multicast messaging software to send a message containing the email to the messaging server, the broadcast/multicast messaging software broadcasts or multicasts the message, and the messaging server receives the message, reformats the message, and forwards the reformatted message to the email server, which then forwards the email to a destination address.
