A method for managing bulk e-mail distribution can include the
steps of matching a target recipient profile with a group of
target recipients; transmitting a set of bulk e-mails to the
target recipients in the matched group; and, calculating a
quantity of e-mails in the set of bulk e-mails which have been
successfully received by the target recipients. If the
calculated quantity does not exceed a prescribed minimum
quantity of successfully received e-mails, the matching,
transmitting and calculating steps can be repeated until the
calculated quantity exceeds the prescribed minimum quantity.
