Method for intelligent verification of electronic mail message addresses

An article comprising one or more machine-readable storage media containing instructions that when executed enable a processor to perform intelligent verification of recipient electronic message addresses with active alerts for incorrect and ambiguous recipient electronic message addresses prior to the dissemination of an electronic message;

• wherein the instructions comprise algorithms for implementing the intelligent verification of recipient electronic message addresses;
• and
• wherein the algorithm further comprises:
• determining incorrect and ambiguous recipient electronic message addresses by searching the records of previous electronic communications involving a sender, and matching the recipient electronic message addresses added by the sender to addresses found in the records;
• notifying the sender based on said determining of matching recipient electronic message addresses, and establishing a subset thereof;
• recommending to the sender which recipient electronic message address to use from the subset;
• and
• disbursing the electronic message with the recommended recipient electronic message address.

A system for distributing electronic messages with intelligent verification of recipient electronic message addresses with active alerts for incorrect and ambiguous recipient electronic message addresses prior to the dissemination of an electronic message;

• wherein the system comprises computing devices and a network;
• wherein the computing devices further comprise at least one of the following:
• computer servers;
• mainframe computers;
• desktop computers;
• and
• mobile computing devices;
• and
• wherein at least one of the computing devices is configured to execute electronic software that manages the electronic message exchange with intelligent verification of recipient electronic message addresses;
• and
• wherein the electronic software is resident on a storage medium in signal communication with at least one of the computing devices;
• and
• wherein at least one of the computing devices is capable of signal communication with the network;
• and
• wherein the network further comprises at least one of the following:
• local area network (LAN);
• wide area network (WAN);
• a global network;
• the Internet;
• an intranet;
• wireless networks;
• and
• cellular networks;
• and
• wherein the electronic software determines incorrect and ambiguous recipient electronic message addresses by searching the records of previous electronic communications involving a sender, and matching the recipient electronic message addresses added by the sender to addresses found in the records;
• notifies the sender based on said determining of matching recipient electronic message addresses, and establishing a subset thereof;
• recommends to the sender which recipient electronic message address to use from the subset;
• and
• disburses the electronic message with the recommended recipient electronic message address.
