Systems and methods of automatic retransmission of electronic mail

A method comprising:

• generating a first e-mail with an e-mail header containing a first interval set at a workstation, and a first retransmit maximum count set at the workstation;
• sending the first e-mail to a first server;
• removing the first interval and retransmit maximum count from the first e-mail header at the first server and subsequently sending the first e-mail from the first server with the first interval and retransmit maximum count removed from the first e-mail header;
• querying a database to determine if the first interval has elapsed since the first e-mail has been sent and a reply has not been received to the first e-mail;
• conditionally resending the first e-mail depending on a result of the previous step;
• querying the database to determine if the following condition is true:
• the first interval has elapsed since the first e-mail has been sent and a reply has not been received to the first e-mail;
• conditionally resending the first e-mail depending on a result of the previous step;
• comparing the first retransmit maximum count to a number times the first e-mail has been sent;
• conditionally sending an e-mail to the workstation, depending on a result of the previous step;
• generating a second e-mail with an e-mail header containing a second interval set at a second workstation, and a second retransmit maximum count set at the second workstation;
• sending the second e-mail to the first server;
• removing the second interval and retransmit maximum count from the e-mail header of the second e-mail at the first server and subsequently sending the second e-mail from the first server with the second interval and retransmit maximum count removed from the second e-mail header, wherein the removing, querying, and resending steps above are effected by a processor executing a set of instructions, and the following steps are effected by the processor executing the set of instructions;
• querying a database to determine if the second interval has elapsed since the second e-mail has been sent and a reply has not been received to the second e-mail;
• conditionally resending the second e-mail depending on a result of the previous step;
• querying the database to determine if the following condition is true:
• the second interval has elapsed since the second e-mail has been sent and a reply has not been received to the second e-mail;
• conditionally resending the second e-mail depending on a result of the previous step;
• comparing the second retransmit maximum count to a number times the second e-mail has been sent;
• and
• conditionally sending an e-mail to the second workstation, depending on a result of the previous step.
