Abstract
Multiple independent MTAs transmit messages such that if one of the MTAs fails, the other MTAs may continue to transmit messages. Multiple independent message stores are provided such that if one of the message stores fails, messages on the other message stores may continue to be transmitted. Multiple notification agents monitor the message stores for new messages and notify one of the MTAs when a new message is available for transmission.
