Abstract

See full text

A system and methods for establishing and enforcing an electronic messaging budget. In at least one embodiment, the inventive method involves identifying a set of users of an electronic message system. Next, an electronic message budget for the set of users is calculated or otherwise determined, and a portion of the budget is allocated to each user, group of users, department, or other suitable element, etc. In response to one of the users attempting to send an electronic message, a cost of the message is calculated and compared to that user's (or group's) available messaging budget. If the cost exceeds the budget, then the message may not be delivered or its delivery may be conditioned on some action of the user.
