Abstract
Architecture that facilitates cross-boundary message tracking based on a trust relationship in existence between a sender network and a recipient network. A tracking service is deployed in each network as a proxy to obtain message events for each hop that passes the message on to the recipient. Tracking can include a search task and a get task. Messages can be found in reports that match message search criteria. The search task returns an array of search results objects, each object identifying a single tracking report. A selected object is pipelined into the get task to return the detailed tracking report for the selected message.
