  • Method and system for notifying users of misdirected response messages associated with messages sent on the users' behalf by an intermediary service
    Patent number: 10050925
    Abstract: Messages sent on behalf of a user through an intermediary service message are assigned a unique sender address including unique message identification data unique to each message being sent. The unique sender address further includes message delivery system domain data identifying the actual domain of the intermediary service. The unique message identification data is also mapped to a user routing address. The unique sender address is then used to populate the “From” field of the message. Consequently, any message response sent to the “From” field of the message can be automatically analyzed to identify the user identification data in the unique sender address and automatically mapped to the user notification routing address. A notification of the response message can then be automatically relayed to the user using the user notification routing address.
