Matanos le'evyonim must be received on Purim.

With the option of remote transfer of funds, this raises interesting
possibilities. Am I yotzei if:

1- I wire money to a Yerushalmi ani on Purim, even though he is receiving
it when it's not yet Shushan Purim?

2- I wire money to him on Shushan Purim, even though I didn't send any
aniyim money on my Purim?

2a- What if the giver is a Yerushalmi, and he sends money for an ani
outside Y-m to make his se'udah on Purim? (This is unlike the prior
case in that he didn't let his Purim pass without giving anything --
he gave before rather than after his own Shushan Purim.)

and if the answer to either of the above is "no":
3- I send money on Purim that he receives on Shushan Purim?

Tir'u baTov!
