Abstract: A method, device, and computer media for a user of a digital sending device specifies the value of an attribute of a destination e-mail account. Some examples of attribute values easily keyable into a digital sending device are PINs and telephone numbers. A directory services query or search is then made for the destination e-mail account having that attribute/value pair. Standardized directory services such as LDAP or X.500 may be utilized, as well as proprietary directory services. The e-mail address of the destination e-mail account found in the directory services query is then used to send e-mail containing scanned documents from the digital sending device.
