Abstract

This document describes a system and method for adapting delivery of electronic communications. It increases the reliability of electronic message delivery by learning from message and server behavior to determine which channel should be used for future message delivery. This is done to increase likelihood of communications delivery to recipients of electronic communications.

Claims

1. A Delivery system for sending electronic communications, comprising:

a message queue and archive;

a plurality of mail servers;

an adaptation engine;

a routing engine;

a scheduling engine;

2. The Delivery system of claim 1, further comprising of a method for scheduling communications

3. The Delivery system of claim 1, further comprising of a method for learning routing paths from the plurality of messages using omni-directional comparators

4. The method of claim 3 further allowing for user definable thresholds

5. The Delivery system of claim 1, further comprising of a method for routing communications
