Abstract:
1. A method, implemented in hardware and software, comprising: receiving, over a network connection, from a first email server by a second email server, bytes of an email message addressed to one or more intended recipients; determining whether the number of bytes of the email message received at the second email server exceeds a predetermined threshold, wherein if not, then writing the email message only to a dynamic memory on the second email server, and wherein if so, then writing a portion of the bytes of the email message up to the predetermined threshold to the dynamic memory and storing a remainder of the bytes of the email message to a non-volatile storage on the second email server, the dynamic memory providing faster access time compared to the non-volatile storage; and sending all bytes of the email message from the second email server to the one or more intended recipients of the email message after the second email server has received all bytes of the email message.
