Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the transmission of a mail designating the attribute of a user or a group directly by converting a designated logical address into a physical address corresponding thereto by a relational data base system and applying mail transmission request with the said physical address. CONSTITUTION:A relational data base system 3 stores a correspondence list of logical addresses comprising user attribute and group attribute corresponding to physical addresses comprising user identification number and group identification number or the like. A logical destination designation means 1 designates the destination of the mail by the logical address. Then a logical mail transmission processing means 4 receives the designated logical address, the means 4 converts the address into the corresponding physical address by the relational data base system 3 and applies mail transmission request with the physical address. Thus, the mail user designates the attribute of the opposite party desired to be mailed as the logical main destination without notifying the physical mail address to apply mailing.

Conventionally, the destination of an e-mail system has been determined by an address defined within the system. For such mail destinations, the user identification number of the person using the e-mail system, the group (office) identification number of the users, etc. are used. This user identification number and group (office) identification number are set as an environment for using the system.

The conventional e-mail destination determination method described above uses the user identification number or group (office) identification number that uses the system, so if you want to send e-mail to people specified by the attributes (position, district 2 organization) of the user or group. , (for example, organization - intelligence group, district - Mita, position -
Since the system does not have attribute information (for managers and above), it was necessary to separately bundle user identification numbers with attributes and store email destinations. Using a bundle of user identification numbers means that each time a user's attributes change, the previously set bundle of user identification numbers must be corrected, and the user must always be aware of maintenance. I had to. That is, there was a drawback that it was not possible to send an e-mail that directly specified the attributes of a user or group.
