Abstract
In an email message method and system, an email server receives at least one user-defined constraint for a first email message, where the user-defined constraint comprises at least one of an expected format and expected content of a reply email message. The email server associates the at least one user-defined constraint with the first email message and sends the first email message to a recipient. In response to receiving the reply email message, the email server validates the reply email message against the at least one user-defined constraint.
