a rule engine (Fig.2 - 210) coupled to receive an e-mail message from the receipt mechanism and coupled to the database to selectively apply the business rules to the e-mail message to determine from selected ones of the business rules a set of actions to be applied to the e-mail message; and
一規則引擎，其耦接來接收來自接收機制的電子郵件訊息並耦接於前述資料庫，藉以選擇應用商業規則於電子郵件訊息上，並從經選擇之商業規則中決定被套用於電子郵件訊息上的一系列行動 |
in response to detecting the virus, inhibiting communication of at least a portion of the computer data from the telephone network to a second party selected from the group consisting of the calling party and the called party (Fig.3 - 114).
對偵測出電腦病毒做出回應，阻絕至少部分電腦資料從電腦網路傳輸到從由呼叫方與被呼叫方所組成之群體中所選擇出的第二方 |
a distribution mechanism (Fig.2 - 230) coupled to receive the set of actions from the rule engine and apply at least one action thereof to the e-mail message to control delivery of the e-mail message and which in response to the rule engine applying an action of deferring delivery of the e-mail message,
一寄送機制耦接來接收來自規則引擎之一系列行動，並套用至少其中之一的行動於電子郵件訊息上、來控制電子郵件之傳遞、並回應規則引擎套用延遲傳遞電子郵件訊息之行動 |
the distribution engine automatically combines the e-mail message with a new distribution list specifying at least one destination post office (Fig.1 - 106) for receiving the e-mail message for review by an administrator associated with the destination post office, and a rule history specifying the business rules that were determined to be applicable to the e-mail message by at least one rule engine, and automatically delivers the e-mail message to a first destination post office on the distribution list instead of a specified recipient of the e-mail message.
