Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for message delivery according to a distribution list, from the point of view of a message relay server. An example message relay server receives a message, and parses the message to extract a distribution list identifier. The message relay server can parse the distribution list identifier from one of a body of the message, a message subject, an address to which the message is directed, for example. Based on the distribution list identifier, the message relay server can retrieve a distribution list of intended recipients for the message and the message relay server can adapt the message for each intended recipient on the distribution list based on respective message preferences, to yield adapted messages. The message relay server can deliver each of the adapted messages to a respective recipient in the distribution list of intended recipients based on respective message preferences.
