Abstract

Claims (49)

1. A method of monitoring message activity, comprising:

identifying the message activity, using a processor;

recording the message activity in a message activity log, using the processor;

receiving the message activity at a server;

determining whether a message corresponding with the message activity has been received at the server;

determining whether to validate the message by comparing the message activity recorded in the message activity log with each of a plurality of messages stored at the server;

removing the message activity from the message activity log, if receipt of the message by the server is confirmed; and

reporting the message activity, if receipt of the message is not confirmed after a period of time elapses.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

communicating the message to the server.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

confirming receipt of the message by the server.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining that the message is not within the server.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a discrepancy between the message activity log and the plurality of messages stored at the server.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

validating the message.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

archiving the message at the server; and

validating the message.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable to:

identify message activity;

record the message activity in a message activity log;

receive the message activity at a server;

determine whether a message corresponding with the message activity has been received at the server;

determine whether to validate the message by comparing the message activity recorded in the message activity log with each of a plurality of messages stored at the server;

remove the message activity from the message activity log, if receipt of the message by the server is confirmed; and

report the message activity, if receipt of the message is not confirmed after a period of time elapses.

9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions are further executable to:

identify a discrepancy between the message activity log and the plurality of messages stored at the server.

10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions are further executable to:

confirm receipt of the message by the server.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions are further executable to:

determine that the message is not within the server.

12. A system for monitoring message activity, comprising:

one or more processors;

memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores program instructions executable by the one or more processors to:

identify the message activity;

record the message activity in a message activity log;

receive the message activity at a server;

determine whether a message corresponding with the message activity has been received at the server;

determine whether to validate the message by comparing the message activity recorded in the message activity log with each of a plurality of messages stored at the server;

remove the message activity from the message activity log, if receipt of the message by the server is confirmed; and

report the message activity, if receipt of the message is not confirmed after a period of time elapses.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the program instructions are further executable to:

communicate the message to the server.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the program instructions are further executable to:

identify a discrepancy between the message activity log and the plurality of messages stored at the server.
