Abstract

A valid destination address is determined. An availability request is sent to each destination address from a set of destination addresses. The destination addresses are correlated with a destination party. At least one response to the sent availability requests is received. Each received response is uniquely associated with its own destination address from the destination addresses. Each received response indicates either a valid destination address or an invalid destination address. For each received response, a value associated with the destination address that is associated with that received response is recorded. The value indicates either a valid destination address or an invalid destination address based on the received response associated with that destination address.

Claims

1. A method for determining a valid destination address, comprising:

sending an availability request to each destination address from a plurality of destination addresses, the plurality of destination addresses being correlated with a destination party;

receiving at least one response to the sent availability requests, each received response being uniquely associated with its own destination address from the plurality of destination addresses, each received response indicating one from the group of a valid destination address and an invalid destination address; and

recording, for each received response,a value associated with the destination address associated with that received response, the value indicating one from the group of a valid destination address and an invalid destination address based on the received response associated with that destination address.
