Abstract
A system includes a distribution center for scanning mail intended for and received from clients in a community. The mail scanned for generating sender, recipient, type, and arrival data. Category data is generated and includes a payables category, a donation category, and a printed matter category. Client preferences data is also generated. The data is mined to find commonalities of mail sent to and received from clients. An action is invoked based on the mined data and it is determined that the action is a payables, donation, or printed matter action. If the action is either a payables or donation action then, a client and a third party are notified prior to execution of the action. If the action is a printed matter action then, then a printed matter shared by more than one client is presented for sharing.
