Abstract
The present invention is a technique for doing an asynchronous, breadth-first expansion of e-mail distribution lists, while being able to control the amount of resources needed to complete the expansion operation. The breadth first DL expansion technique described here correctly handles circular references while expanding distribution lists asynchronously, in a breadth-first fashion, and without requiring large amount of resources. The present invention provides a mechanism to control how many lookup requests are performed in parallel and the maximum amount of memory resources required to complete the DL expansion.
