Abstract
A dynamic message engine allows the merging of data using a variety of databases to deliver mail items to selected recipients, wherein the mail items include content which is filtered or otherwise limited by the system. In one embodiment, invitations to seminars (e.g., seminars directed at pharmaceuticals) are prepared and sent to a plurality of physicians selected from a physician database, wherein the content of the invitation includes text selected from a predetermined set of acceptable text items and/or wherein the content is filtered in accordance with predetermined criteria.

A computer implemented method of producing a mail item, said method comprising the steps of:
- a dynamic messaging engine receiving electronic event-specific information, merge field information, and talk title information from a user;
- said dynamic messaging engine compiling said event-specific information, merge field information, and talk title information to produce a compiled message, and thereafter content-filtering said complied message to produce a content-filtered compiled message;
- said dynamic messaging engine providing said content-filtered compiled message to said user for content review;
- said user determining whether to modify the content of said content-filtered compiled complied message to produce a modified content-filtered compiled message;
- said user accepting either of said content-filtered compiled message or said modified content-filter compiled message to produce an accepted content-filtered compiled message;
- said user selecting a recipient for said accepted content-filtered compiled message after said step of producing said accepted content-filtered compiled message and providing said accepted content-filtered compiled message to said dynamic messaging engine;
- and
- said dynamic messaging engine receiving said accepted content-filtered compiled message and producing said mail item for delivery to said selected recipient, said mail item comprising said accepted content-filtered compiled message.
