Patent number: 10601754Abstract: Systems and method for delivering messages are provided in which a plurality of messages to be electronically sent are stored in a storage unit. Each of the respective messages includes associated metadata describing information about the respective message. The storage unit includes local storage which stores a first amount of information describing imminent messages, which are more likely to be sent, and stored a second amount of information, less than the first amount of information, describing non-imminent messages which are less likely to be sent. The storage unit also includes remote storage, which stores additional information about the messages. A processor operates to determine information about each message, and manages an amount of information about the messages which are stored locally.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Selligent, IncInventors: Frank Addante, Tim McQuillen, Junior Shaitan

Publication number: 20170134322Abstract: Computer program products, apparatus, and methods for processing digital messages to recipients at destination domains are provided. A plurality of profiles are established, each profile for handling digital to a specific domain or set of domains. A request to process a plurality of outbound digital messages is handled by, for each given digital message, processing the given digital message by (i) determining a destination domain for digital messages, (ii) reading a profile for the determined destination domain for the digital messages and (iii) based on at least one parameter set in the profile: (a) sending the given digital message to the determined destination domain in accordance with the profile when permitted by the at least one parameter set in the profile, or (b) not sending the digital message to the determined destination domain when required by the at least one parameter set in the profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2015Publication date: May 11, 2017Inventors: Tim MCQUILLEN, Tulsi R.

Patent number: 9553836Abstract: An e-mail processing system includes: a non-persistent or random memory storing a message queue map having a plurality of message queues, an input handler, and an output handler. Each message queue includes a plurality of data nodes, and each data node represents one message intended for delivery to a respective domain. The input handler comprises instructions for: (i) obtaining an incoming first e-mail, (ii) digesting the incoming first e-mail into a first data node representing the incoming first e-mail, and (iii) analyzing the first data node to determine a first message queue in the number of message queues based at least on the destination domain of the first data node, and (iv) appending the first data node to the plurality of data nodes in the first message queue. The output handler processes a data node in a message queue in the message queue map to send e-mail to an intended recipient.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: STRONGVIEW SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Frank Addante, Tim McQuillen, Junior Shaitan

Publication number: 20150106938Abstract: E-mail system which organizes e-mails into queues based on their locations and characterizes the e-mails. Metadata, indicative of the e-mail, is appended to the e-mail. The queues are organized based on the metadata, and processed. The metadata is always stored in local storage; and the message body may be stored in local storage, or in remote storage, depending on how long it will be until the message is sent. A special server manages whether the information is stored in local or remote storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2014Publication date: April 16, 2015Inventors: Frank Addante, Tim McQuillen, Junior Shaitan

Patent number: 7720911Abstract: An e-mail processing system that preferably operates solely within nonpersistent storage such as random access memory. Queues of e-mails are formed within the random access memory, where each queue includes a pointer to personalized information about the e-mail, directed to a specific domain. In order to send the e-mail, a channel is opened to the domain, and while open, e-mails within the queue are sent. A special recovery agent periodically takes snapshots of the state of processing within the system. Since the processing is occurring within nonpersistent storage, a failure within the system can be recovered by using the snapshots to recover where each email is processing. In one aspect, the feed rate to the other e-mail servers is adjusted based on the rate of those e-mail servers. Also, the system asynchronously looks up information such as DNS information while it is processing information for other e-mails.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2004Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: StrongMail Systems, Inc.Inventors: Frank Addante, Tim McQuillen
