Abstract
Under the present invention, a method, system, and program product for preventing an unread activity from being sent back (i.e., bounced-back) to its originating server during a replication operation are provided. The method includes: storing an identification of an originating server of a replicated unread activity, the unread activity being associated with a read/unread status of an email, in an unread log of a receiving server; during a subsequent replication process initiated by the receiving server, preventing replication of the unread activity back to the originating server; during the subsequent replication process, replicating the unread activity to at least one other server; and storing the identification of the originating server with the unread entry.
