New Email Server, Message Transfer Agent, Technology
For a decade business managers have been throwing away business intelligence due to the fact that e-mail servers are unreliable, slow and laiden with security threats. That has changed with a new wave of message transfer agents.
(PRWEB) October 9, 2004 -- These new business e-mail servers, also known as
Message Transfer Agents, (Definition: http://www.message-transfer-agent.com), are provided by
ActivSoftware, Port25, Silverpop and just a few other firms. Rob Thrasher,
founder of the New Millennium Minds blog and marketing director at
ActivSoftware, in a recent posting to the blog stated, "The race is on for
smarter and reliable e-mail servers."
Gary Kraeger, President of
ActivSoftware, said, "First we built ActivMail, a software component tool used
to send e-mail and it was quickly integrated into e-mail systems around the
globe. The tool fuels many of the commercially available e-mail list management
systems, but it quickly overwhelms e-mail servers. We realized that currently
available e-mail servers were unreliable and decided that in order to succeed we
needed to build our own e-mail server."
The team at ActivSoftware moved
ahead with the goal to build what they considered to be the ideal e-mail server
using data gathered through experience in the industry. The ActivSoftware tool,
'eXtensible Mail Server,' also known as 'XMS,' was made available just a few
days ago." Thrasher predicts, "This tool, and its competitor counterparts, will
rapidly begin to transform the way we think about, and use,
e-mail."
ActivSoftware announced their product availabiity this week on
October 5, 2004. XM Server is available for evaluation and the Web site is
officially launched today, Saturday, October 9, 2004. Competitive products
include PowerMTA and silverPOP.
