<p>Outgoing rich-media advertising messages in a client-server architecture are load balanced by having an initiator (10) direct multiple servers (42, 44, 52, 54, 56, 62, 64) to create and transmit the messages to recipients (80). The messages include message IDs (16, 66) that may be downloaded from the initiator (10), or generated in a LAN locally to the servers (60). The messages are preferably tracked at least in part using the message ID. Some of the servers may be coupled in local area networks (40, 50, 60), and distribution of recipient addresses may be based at least in part on the number of out-going mail threads being used in servers of the various LANs (40, 50, 60).</p> |
