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.
