Abstract
Communications system (200) comprising a receiving messaging system (202 or 215) connectable to a sending messaging system (210). The receiving messaging system (202 or 215) is operable to receive a message addressed to a recipient and a time stamp of a sending system directory entry associated with the recipient from the sending messaging system (210). The sending system directory entry is used by the sending messaging system (210) for a recipient confirmation. Recipient confirmation may be spoken name confirmation. The receiving messaging system (202 or 215) includes a time stamp of a receiving system directory entry associated with the recipient. The receiving messaging system (202 or 215) validates the recipient confirmation by comparing the time stamp of the receiving system directory entry to the time stamp of the sending system directory entry. Messages with an invalid recipient confirmation may be returned to the sending messaging system (210). Messages with a valid recipient confirmation may be delivered to the recipient. Messages with a valid recipient confirmation may be delivered to one or more network hubs (202) along the way to the recipient.
