20120158867 | CLOUD MESSAGE TRANSFER APPARATUS TO REDUCE NON-DELIVERY REPORTS - Duplicate deliveries of email messages are prevented when a transient failure prevents delivery to some of a plurality of intended recipients but delivery to an other one or more of the intended recipients is successful. After receiving a list of recipients, an email body, and an “end of data” sequence, but prior to responding to the “end of data” sequence, an email server determines a transient failure reply code when any one of the address mailboxes of intended recipients is not available. A message-memorandum, such as the globally unique message-id and the address of one or more successful recipients is stored into a memorandum store. A subsequent transmission of the corresponding message will only be delivered to recipients who have not previously received it. Using this invention, the receiving/relay system would persistently track which recipients were allowed or refused by some unique characteristic of the message, such as internet message ID or a checksum of the distinct portions of the message/envelope that are unlikely to change (e.g. sender, recipients, body). Once a message has been identified as one that has been previously partially deferred, the recipients that were previously allowed would be ignored and delivery would be attempted only to the recipients that had not previously been allowed. | 2012-06-21 |

Information is received from a third party system, including a plurality of third party objects and/or types. The information may pertain to both run-time structure and/or compile time structure. The received objects/types are analyzed at run-time without accessing the third party object model and/or source code. A re-usable meta schema is created and cached based on the analysis, including determining attributes, methods or supertypes for the objects/types. A type hierarchy may be pre-computed for the plurality of analyzed object models. The re-usable meta schema may then be used for run-time object/type traversal without accessing the third party object model/source code. | 2012-06-21 |
