Abstract

An information system includes a plurality of messaging systems (150), a data center (110) and a control system. The plurality of messaging systems (150) process respective messages intended for recipients (180). The data center (110) is in operative communication with the plurality of messaging systems and stores a recipient preference profile (192) associated with each respective recipient. The control system accesses an intended recipient preference profile corresponding to an intended recipient of a message and uses the intended recipient preference profile to process the message.
