Message-address management program, recording medium carrying message-address management program, message-address management method, and message-address management apparatus
First Claim
1. A message-address management program to cause a computer to perform message-address management processing in a system capable of exchanging messages among a plurality of servers, wherein the program causes the computer to perform:
- absence-response-information accepting processing to receive, when a mail address of a certain member of a mail group changes, absence response information including at least an old address and a new address of the member;
notice-receiver extraction processing to extract a mail address of another member of the mail group from a previously provided mail list for the mail group;
notice-destination determination processing to specify a server to which the absence response information is to be provided, on the basis of the extracted mail address; and
absence-response-information distribution processing to distribute the absence response information to the specified server.

Abstract
When a mail address changed, first server receives absence response information containing an old address and a new address corresponding to the change, extracts a mail address of each of other members from a mailing list based on the old address, obtains domain information corresponding to the extracted mail address, and distributes the absence response information to second server specified based on the domain information. The second server receives and stores the absence response information. Upon acceptance a mail from a client, the second server judges whether the mail is directed to the old address and changes the address of the mail to the new address and sends the mail.
