Abstract
In a mail gateway, a collection part collects, for each specific information contained in a mail entered into a resending queue, statistical information of the specific information. A provisional queue creation part creates a provisional queue based on the collected number of the statistical information. The provisional queue handles a mail which has a possibility of causing congestion. This can prevent a normal queue from entering into a congestion state. Also in the mail gateway, if the congestion state is brought about in the provisional queue which performs a send of a mail containing the specific information, a mail sort part restricts an entry of a mail into the provisional queue. This can limit an influence of the congestion state only to the provisional queue.
