Abstract
An electronic mail server is provided to facilitate e-mail communication over a network. The electronic mail server includes an account name database and an account name processor in communication with the account name database for providing a response to a message received over the network. Typically, the message includes an e-mail account name label comprising at least one account name character (having an account name character set type), with the character set type including a non-ASCII compatible character set. The account name database includes a number of database records, each identifying an e-mail account name comprising at least one record character having a record character set type, and a record character set identifier identifying the record character set type. The account name processor includes a correlation processor and a response processor. The correlation processor is configured to determine the correlation between the received e-mail account name label and the respective e-mail account names in accordance with the associated character set type. The response processor is in communication with the correlation processor and provides the response to the message in accordance with the correlation indication.
