Abstract
Methods, systems, and data structures are provided for electronic addressing. An electronic address is defined by a preferred domain name, one or more allowable domain names, a preferred electronic address format, and one or more allowable electronic address formats. Moreover, received electronic addresses are bound by separating the received electronic addresses into components and comparing combinations of the components against the preferred and allowable domain names and the preferred and allowable electronic address formats. Additionally in one embodiment, resource attributes are dynamically acquired from resource objects within a directory and compared against the components and used in connection with addressing policies to bind received electronic addresses.
