Abstract
A method for automatically propagating subscriber names and their associated name headers to remote sites from a local site in a PhoneMail network, includes adding a profile propagation status field to a data base field for each mailbox of a subscriber in each PhoneMail system in the network. A predetermined number of bits are reserved within the profile propagation status fields, for representing the status at any given subscriber network profile relative to a corresponding remote site, with different patterns of the bits conveying different status messages. Subscribers at a local site are selected for sending their associated network profiles to the data bases of selected remote sites. After the selection process, the network profiles are propagated to the remote sites.
