Intelligent electronic mail server manager, and system and method for coordinating operation of multiple electronic mail servers

A system for managing operation of multiple email servers, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• an email message queue;
• and
• a processor configured by the memory to perform the steps of:
• storing received email messages in the queue;
• extracting destinations from the email messages;
• and
• sending a first email message among the email messages in the queue as a first delivery attempt probe to a first destination among the destinations by way of a first sending email server among a plurality of sending email servers in accordance with a prescribed destination probe schedule;
• wherein at least a second sending email server, different from the first sending email server, is prevented from sending the first email message or another email message having the first destination during the time that the first delivery attempt probe is being carried out.
