Abstract

Selon le système de l'invention, un utilisateur effectue des entrées au niveau d'une interface (51) qui correspondent au type prévu de distribution (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Dans une autre variante, le système peut déjà comporter des informations stockées en fonction du type de distribution (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) à utiliser par des correspondants spécifiques. En fonction du type de distribution (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), le système (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) détermine pour chaque article de correspondance si la distribution se fera par l'acheminement physique d'un document imprimé (2, 3, 4), par télécopie (5) ou par courrier électronique (6). Le système (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) détermine également pour chaque article de correspondance devant être acheminé sous forme d'un document imprimé (2, 3, 4) si une enveloppe (10, 11) est nécessaire et si les données de l'adresse doivent être imprimées sur l'enveloppe ou sur une étiquette (12) à appliquer sur l'enveloppe. D'autre part, dans le cas d'un article de correspondance devant être acheminé par distribution physique, une vignette d'affranchissement est imprimée sur l'enveloppe ou sur une étiquette (12) à appliquer sur l'enveloppe. Si le système (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) détermine pour un article de correspondance que la distribution se fera par télécopie (5), la correspondance est alors envoyée par télécopie (55). S'il détermine que la distribution se fera par courrier électronique (6), la correspondance sera alors envoyée par un serveur (54) SMTP.
