Abstract
A data processing system with efficient facilities for transmitting a serial electronic publication to subscribers includes a status manager and a push engine. The status manager associates a vacation setting with at least one subscriber among a plurality of subscribers. The push engine identifies one or more non-vacationing subscribers among the plurality of subscribers, by reference to the vacation setting, and electronically transmits issues of the publication only to the one or more non-vacationing subscribers. In an illustrative embodiment, the data processing system includes an input module that receives a message from the at least one subscriber specifying a vacation interval for putting the vacation setting in effect, the vacation interval is stored, and the push engine identifies the one or more non-vacationing subscribers by reference to the vacation interval.
