Abstract: A method for authoring, developing, and posting an electronic document is performed in a system which includes an author computer (102) operated by an author, and a developer system (110) which includes a developer computer (114) operated by a developer. After a qualification procedure (214-242) which includes sending (233) an auto-response message to an e-mail address indicated by the author, the developer system sends (312) the author a document authoring page (370) over a first network (120). Using the document authoring page, the author enters (316) certain information describing a Web page which the author desires to have created. The author computer sends (322) that information to the developer system, and a developer modifies (330) an HTML document describing the Web page to put it in a form that is ready for posting to a network server (116, 130). After the author approves (344) the final HTML document, the developer system posts (348) the document to the server.

Abstract: A method for managing bulk e-mail distribution can include the steps of matching a target recipient profile with a group of target recipients; transmitting a set of bulk e-mails to the target recipients in the matched group; and, calculating a quantity of e-mails in the set of bulk e-mails which have been successfully received by the target recipients. If the calculated quantity does not exceed a prescribed minimum quantity of successfully received e-mails, the matching, transmitting and calculating steps can be repeated until the calculated quantity exceeds the prescribed minimum quantity. Notably, in the preferred embodiment, the group of target recipients is an opt-in list.
