PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To grasp the state of transmitted electronic mail by providing an electronic mail server with a client control means to issue a control instruction to a client and a mail supervising means. SOLUTION: The electronic mail server 1 stores the mail in a mail storage part 4, and a mail transmitting means 6a acquires an ID and a transmittal address by referring to data bases 7a, 17 in conformity to the description of a constraint condition field, and specifies time schedule processing. Further, the means 6a transmits the mail through the client control means 18, an executed contents informing means 19, and a mail transmitting and receiving means 5 in conformity to a time schedule. The control instruction receiving/executing means 27 of the client 2 interprets the control instruction, and controls a peripheral device. After executing control processing, the means 27 outputs a state reporting request, and a client request receiving/executing means 3 delivers the item data of a mail ID and a transmitting person address, etc., to a state reporting means 20. When this item data and the item data of the electronic mail are equal, a state report is generated. |
