Techniques are described for dynamically generating filter controls that enable the filtering of content items presented in a user interface such as a web application. In response to a request for content, one or more content items may be provided. The content item(s) may be analyzed to determine one or more attributes that describe the content item(s). The filter control(s) may then be determined dynamically based on the attribute(s) of the content item(s). The filter control(s) may be presented in the same user interface with the content item(s) to enable filtering of the content item(s) based on the attribute(s). The filter control(s) may be determined based on user behavior data, user demographic data, social network data, historical sales information, or other information.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for implementing global optimization of a service-oriented system are disclosed. Trace data is collected for a plurality of service interactions between services in a service-oriented system. Respective costs are determined for a plurality of configuration options in the service-oriented system. An optimized configuration for the service-oriented system is determined based on the respective costs and the trace data. The optimized configuration comprises a selection of one or more of the configuration options. The optimized configuration is deployed to the service-oriented system.

Global optimization of a service-oriented system

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for implementing service-oriented system optimization using static analysis are disclosed. A cross-service static analysis is performed for program code of a plurality of services in a service-oriented system. Based on the cross-service static analysis, one or more service dependencies in the program code are determined. An optimized configuration for the service-oriented system is determined based on the one or more service dependencies. Individual ones of the services are deployed to the service-oriented system based on the optimized configuration.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for implementing service-oriented system optimization using partial service relocation are disclosed. An optimized configuration is determined for the service-oriented system based on performance data. The optimized configuration improves a performance metric in the service-oriented system. A partial service is automatically generated based on an original service in a service-oriented system. The partial service includes a first set of program code from the original service and excludes a second set of program code from the original service. The first set of program code is included in the partial service based on its frequency of use. One or more instances of the partial service are deployed to the service-oriented system based on the optimized configuration.

Service-oriented system optimization using partial service relocation

Within a mail transfer agent of a message transfer system, a message is received and if the recipient entity resolves to a number of recipients exceeding a specified quantity, the original message is not processed. Instead, at least two messages are created, with each of the created messages addressed to a subset of the original set of recipients. The created messages are returned to the calling module for processing.

Reprocessing of messages in an extensible message transfer system

Techniques for eliminating duplicate/redundant scanning of email messages while the email message traverses the various servers within an email infrastructure are provided. Some techniques utilize a message hygiene stamp that is transported with the email message as the email message enters an enterprise and is routed within the enterprise until the email message reaches the end user inbox. The filters comprise logic that enables the filters to annotate the result of their filtering or other processing in corresponding message hygiene stamps. The message hygiene stamps allow the filters to determine whether the email message has already been processed by the filter within the email infrastructure.

Bifurcation of messages in an extensible message transfer system

Journaling e-mail messages, containing information about an e-mail message and/or entities associated with the e-mail messages, are sent to journaling mailboxes. An e-mail server sends an original journaling e-mail message, preferably through an envelope protocol extension, to an entity's journaling mailbox. Upon detecting additional recipients of the e-mail message (e.g. an expansion of a distribution list or alternate recipient forwarding rule) the e-mail server sends an additional journaling e-mail message, containing information about the additional recipients, to the entity's journaling mailbox.

Methods for sending additional journaling e-mail messages subsequent to sending original journaling e-mail messages

E-mail envelope journaling. A server determines that an entity's (e.g., a recipient revealed from an expanded distribution list) home mailbox store has envelope journaling enabled and specifies a journaling mailbox address. The server sets a journaling property in an e-mail message identifying that the e-mail message is to be journaled. The server adds the journaling mailbox address specified by the entity's home mailbox store to the journaling property. The server sends envelope journaling information through an envelope protocol extension to the journaling mailbox addresses specified in the journaling property. The server sends the e-mail message to one or more recipients specified in the e-mail message and journaling mailbox addresses specified in the journaling property. Journaling servers receiving envelope journaling information, place journaling information in archive messages, and attach portions e-mail messages to archive messages.
