A device that resides behind a firewall and receives content to be further directed towards one or more users, such as high-volume emails. The device captures the incoming content that is delivered over a secure communication channel from an external content source and creates personalized RDF or XML files for the intended recipients. The URLs associated with the files include a unique code that is generated using at least a portion of the addressing information or other parameters of the message. An RSS reader can then be employed to read the content from the RDF or XML file.

Provision of RSS feeds based on classification of content

Provision of secure RSS feeds using a secure RSS catcher

Personalized RSS feeds that are created for a user based on information associated with the user are generally unique and initially empty. By creating a generic RSS feed for receiving generic content items, the personalized RSS files can be pre-populated by copying the generic contents into the personalized RSS feeds. In addition, as content is received for a personalized RSS feed, the index files and/or the HTML based content files can be examined to identify expired items and then to delete the expired items.
