An e-mail system implemented on a server having a network connection receives and forwards e-mail messages based on subscriber-supplied criteria. When a message is received addressed to the subscriber, characteristics of the message, such as existence of and size of attachments, are compared to characteristics previously supplied by the subscriber. If a match is found, the subscriber is notified, such as by a page to a pager carried by the subscriber, of the message and the nature of the match.. Facility is provided at the server for the subscriber to then call the server, log on, and provide instructions for forwarding the matched message. Forwarding may be to such as a hand-held device or a notebook computer operated by the subscriber, or to a mailbox or mailboxes on other servers, or any combination. A subscriber is then in control of points of delivery of incoming e-mail messages.

A computerized analyzer for a transactional data stream prepares feed records from the data stream, the feed records comprising all transaction records received in a finite time slice. A new feed record is prepared for each passing time slice, and, in a preferred embodiment, new time slices are generated during operation based on record volume received during a previous time slice. The feed records are condensed to significant feed records by selecting only those transaction records in each feed record that are significant according to prestored criteria including subscriber interest records. Once a significant feed record is prepared, it is compared with subscriber interest records to produce an alert table. An alert transmitter transmits alerts to subscribers following the alert table. Alerts are deleted from the alert table as they are sent to subscribers. The system is suited to many types of transactional data streams, and suited for such as stock quote data streams.
