A method for re-transmitting an e-mail message transmitted from a sender to a recipient based upon predetermined criteria, the e-mail message including a message block having messaging information and an address block identifying both recipient and sender addressing information, the method comprising the steps of:

• defining at least two different sets of criteria to be satisfied in the address block of the e-mail message for initiating messaging tasks wherein each set of criteria has unique associated messaging tasks;
• receiving in a recipients intended e-mail account location an e-mail message transmitted from a sender;
• prescribing at least one time period for performing messaging tasks;
• defining messaging tasks to be initiated for said e-mail message during said at least one time period;
• determining if said e-mail message was received within said at least one time period;

• re-transmitting said converted e-mail message such that it is received at a recipients location in the predetermined format in accordance with said defined messaging tasks for said time period if said e-mail message was determined to be received within said time period;
• interrogating the address block of the e-mail message to determine if predetermined criteria from at least one of said two different sets of criteria has been met in the sender addressing information portion of the e-mail message;
• and
• re-transmitting the e-mail message to the recipient such that the recipient receives at least the messaging information content of the e-mail message at a location other than the recipients intended e-mail account in accordance with the messaging tasks associated with one of the said two different sets of criteria that has be met in the sender addressing information portion of the e-mail message.
