The invention relates to processing of electronic text communication distributed in bulk. In one embodiment, a process for blocking electronic text communication distributed in bulk is disclosed. In the process, a first electronic and a second electronic submission are received. A first portion is extracted from the first electronic submission and a second portion is extracted from the second electronic submission. A first code is determined for the first portion and a second code is determined for the second portion. The first code is indicative of the first portion and the second code is indicative of the second portion. After the first code is compared to the second code, the second electronic submission is filtered in response to that comparison.

A method for moderating external access to an electronic document authoring, development and distribution system can comprise the steps of: identifying a third party requesting access to the system; permitting restricted access to the third party; and, eliminating all access restrictions imposed in the permitting step when the third party registers with the system. Thus, the inventive method provides to a third party potential customer access to the electronic document authoring, development and distribution system without risking the abuse of the system by the potential customer. The inventive method can encourage the submission of third party Web assets for use by registered users of the system. Specifically, the inventive method can further comprise the steps of: accepting electronic submissions of Web assets from the third party; storing the accepted Web assets in a Web asset database; and, compensating the third party for subsequent distribution of the Web assets.

The invention relates to processing similar electronic text communication. In one step, a first electronic and a second electronic submission, that are part of a plurality of electronic submissions, are received. A first portion is extracted from the first electronic submission and a second portion from the second electronic submission. Content of the first electronic submission influences extraction of the first portion and content of the second electronic submission influences extraction of the second portion. Locations for the first and second portions could vary with content. A first code is determined for the first portion and a second code for the second portion, where the first code is indicative of the first portion and the second code is indicative of the second portion. The first code to the second code are compared to associate the first and second electronic submission together.

The invention relates to determining electronic text communication distributed in bulk is likely solicited. In one step, a first electronic and a second electronic submission are received. It is determined that the first electronic submission is likely solicited. A first portion is extracted from the first electronic submission and a second portion from the second electronic submission. The content of the first electronic submission influences extraction of the first portion, and the content of the second electronic submission influences extraction of the second portion. A first code is determined for the first portion and a second code is determined for the second portion, where the first code is indicative of the first portion and the second code is indicative of the second portion. The first code is compared to the second code. It is determined that the second electronic submission is likely solicited, at least in part, in response to comparing the first code to the second code.

System, method and computer program product for managing a document. A printer driver of a computer outputs printing data corresponding to the document to an IP port of the computer. A program detects the printing data en route to or at the IP port and determines whether there exists, apart from the printing data, a file containing classification information for storing the printing data. If so, the program appends the classification information to the printing data and sends the printing data and appended classification information to a storage server for storage. The classification information specifies a format for storing the printing data. The program determines whether there exists a file containing classification information by searching for a file with a name which corresponds by convention to a name of the document represented by the printing data. The program appends the classification information to the printing data as comments.

Provided are a system and a method for permitting a user to submit a payment electronically, which includes a network and an electronic device in communication. The electronic device is operated by the user to submit an electronic payment request. A first server in communication with the network receives the request and in response communicates an encryption key and process to the electronic device. The electronic device encrypts the financial information with the encryption key and process and communicates encrypted financial information to the first server. A second server is in communication with the first server at least some of the time via an Internet connection. If there is Internet connectivity, the first server communicates the encrypted financial information to the second server. If there is no Internet connectivity and the payment amount is less than a predefined amount, the first server communicates to the electronic device that the payment has been accepted.

Electronic submissions, such as those for capital markets, are processed by evaluating the data contained in the electronic submissions against failure conditions. The failure conditions may include a static failure condition and a scalar failure condition. The static failure condition identifies a data element that is to be present or absent for the static failure condition to be met. The scalar failure condition identifies data that is to conform to an inequation for the scalar failure condition to be met. The electronic submission can be approved upon completion of the evaluation when all failure conditions are not met. The electronic submission can be thus approved with no human analyst intervention or review needed. When one or more failure condition is met, the electronic submission requires further analysis. Specific advantageous failure conditions are discussed. Feedback can be employed to increase approvals that trigger no failure conditions.
