A message distribution center (MDC) is interposed between content providers and a wireless carrier to subjectively examine and direct messages via SMTP based on desired rules (e.g., non-peak hours, paying subscribers only, etc.) using standard SMTP Gateway and other well-known protocols. The MDC includes a queue for each subscriber. A provider is informed through conventional SMTP protocol messages when a short message has been accepted. If the carrier has specifically disallowed service for a particular MIN, the content provider is informed through an SMTP interchange that the recipient is invalid. An MDC provides a single mechanism for interacting with subscribers of multiple carriers, regardless of each carrier's underlying infrastructure. An MDC can protect a carrier's SS7 network by intelligently throttling messages and configuring network friendly message delivery parameters. A content provider preferably communicates with the MDC using SMTP protocol messages. The MDC preferably communicates with wireless carriers using RMI/SMPP techniques.

1. A message distribution center, comprising: a communicator, at an intermediary message distribution center (MDC), in communication with a plurality of subscriber queues storing SMS messages associated with SMS enabled source devices, including one of said plurality of subscriber queues storing a given Short Messaging System (SMS) message, before delivery to a wireless carrier's subscriber message delivery network; andan automatic deletion module, at said intermediary MDC, to trigger automatic deletion of an SMS message from at least one of said plurality of subscriber queues when a maximum threshold associated with said one of said plurality of subscriber queues is exceeded, said maximum threshold being determined according to a delivery statistic. 2. The message distribution center according to claim 1, further comprising: an assignment module to individually assign each of said plurality of subscriber queues a maximum number of SMS messages that each of said plurality of subscriber queues can store. 3. The message distribution center according to claim 1, further comprising: at least one of an RMI communication interface and an SMPP communication interface to transmit said queued SMS message. 4. The message distribution center according to claim 1, wherein: said plurality of subscriber queues each correspond to a different subscriber in said wireless carrier's subscriber message delivery network. 5. The message distribution center according to claim 1, wherein: each of said plurality of subscriber queues operates in a first in-first out fashion. 6. The message distribution center according to claim 1, wherein: said wireless carrier's subscriber message delivery network is a wireless intelligent network (WIN). 7. A method of delivering a short message with a message distribution center, comprising: communicating, at an intermediary message distribution center (MDC), with a plurality of subscriber queues storing SMS messages associated with SMS enabled source devices, including one of said plurality of subscriber queues storing a given Short Messaging System (SMS) message, before delivery to a wireless carrier's subscriber message delivery network; andtriggering, at said intermediary MDC, automatic deletion of an SMS message from at least one of said plurality of subscriber queues when a maximum threshold associated with said one of said plurality of subscriber queues is exceeded, said maximum threshold being determined according to a delivery statistic. 8. The method of delivering a short message with a message distribution center according to claim 7, further comprising: individually assigning to each of said plurality of subscriber queues, with an assignment module, a maximum number of SMS messages that each of said plurality of subscriber queues can store. 9. The method of delivering a short message with a message distribution center according to claim 7, further comprising: transmitting said queued SMS message with at least one of an RMI communication interface and an SMPP communication interface. 10. The method of delivering a short message with a message distribution center according to claim 7, wherein: said plurality of subscriber queues each corresponding to a different subscriber device in said wireless carrier's subscriber message delivery network. 11. The method of delivering a short message with a message distribution center according to claim 7, further comprising: operating each of said plurality of subscriber queues in a first in-first out fashion. 12. The method of delivering a short message with a message distribution center according to claim 7, wherein: said wireless carrier's subscriber message delivery network is a wireless intelligent network (WIN).
