Abstract
A change in contact information for a communicator can be identified. Contact metrics can be acquired for the communicator. The contact metrics can specify details of communications between the communicator and at least one other party. At least one previously established programmatic rule can be applied to the acquired contact metrics to automatically determine whether each of the parties is a recipient who should be notified of the change in contact information based upon comparing the contact metrics relating to that party and the communicator against at least one previously established threshold. Recipients can be selectively added to a recipient list based upon results of the applied programmatic rule. The recipient list can represent a listing of parties who are to be notified of the change in contact information.
