1. A system for communicating messages over a network, comprising:
- A first information handling system operably connected to an network, said first information system operable to receive a message and to relay a copy of said message;
a second information handling system operably connected to said network; and
a third information handling system operably connected to said second information handling system;
wherein said first information handling system is operable to;
relay a copy of the message to a network operations center;
transfer a copy of the message to said second information handling system; and
transmit a cancellation notice to said network operations center upon detection of said third information handling system being connected to said second information handling system, thereby causing said network operation center to cancel retransmission of said message to said third information handling system.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for improved handling of messages transmitted over a plurality of wireless and wired networks. Electronic mail transmitted by a mail source via an internet connection is received by a server that is operably connected to an intranet that is protected by a firewall. The server adds a timestamp to the incoming email and forwards the email to first information handling system. The server also relays the email to a network operations center (NOC) that transmits a copy of the email via a wireless transmitter. The present invention provides a method and apparatus to selectively prevent transmission of the relayed email by the NOC by sending a cancellation signal to the NOC or by suppressing the relay of the email to the NOC, thereby providing a cost saving and increased efficiency of bandwidth utilization.

8. A method for communicating over a network, comprising:
-
receiving a message in a first information handling system operably connected to an network;
relaying a copy of the message to a network operations center;
transferring the message to a second information handling system operably connected to the network;
detecting whether a third information handling system is operably connected to said second information handling system;
generating a cancellation signal upon detection of the third information handling system; and

15. A system for communicating messages over a network, comprising:
-
a first information handling system operably connected to an network, said first information system operable to receive a message and to relay of copy of said message;
a second information handling system operably connected to said network; and
a third information handling system operably connected to said second information handling system;
wherein said first information handling system is operable to;
store said message in a buffer for a predetermined period of time;
transfer a copy of the message to said second information handling system to said third information handling system; and
relay a copy of the message to a network operations center if the server has not received a cancellation signal during said predetermined period of time.
