MailFrontier Matador™ 3.0 Learns and Adapts to Offer Consistent Maximum Spam Protection Over Time
Also Protects Mobile Devices From the Increasing Spam Deluge

Palo Alto, Ca, July 28 2003 – MailFrontier, the leading provider of anti-spam solutions for both individuals and enterprises, today released the world’s smartest desktop anti-spam solution. Spam is getting increasingly deceptive and dangerous, and becoming more invasive with Messenger Pop-Ups and spam on handheld devices. As a result, individuals are desperately seeking a solution that can keep pace with spam as it rapidly evolves. MailFrontier Matador 3.0 provides individual users with a powerful weapon that increases in accuracy over time and stops spam from invading wireless devices.

"After repeatedly losing essential email in a flood of spam, I had to take action to protect myself and my inbox," said Arizona State Senator Scott Bundgaard. "I tried other products on the market, but only with MailFrontier Matador was I able to receive my important email and get rid of spam. Now I can avoid unwanted ads for ink cartridges or home mortgages and can focus on emails that are significant to me," said Bundgaard.

“As spamming techniques continue to change and become more deceptive and dangerous, the right way to protect your inbox is with a solution that automatically changes over time and keeps in tune with your needs,” said Pavni Diwanji, CEO and co-founder of MailFrontier. “Now, as your email patterns change, and the spam you receive morphs, Matador adapts and gives you consistent maximum protection.”

eProfile™…Spam Blocking that Adapts
MailFrontier Matador 3.0 monitors incoming email, analyzing each message to learn more about specific patterns and vocabulary that define good email and bad email for each individual. The software creates an eProfile – a custom rule set – for each individual user, which adapts over time.

Stopping the Pop-Up Spam
One of the latest techniques being used by spammers is to use a Windows Messenger Service that was originally designed for occasional use by IT departments. Not to be confused with browser pop-ups, these windows will appear out of nowhere, blocking users’ screens and often spamming them with offers to eliminate pop-up spam! MailFrontier Matador 3.0 offers users the ability to end this annoying invasion.

Protecting Wireless Devices
Individual users of Outlook and Outlooks Express will now be able to use MailFrontier Matador to filter incoming email before it gets downloaded to a wireless device. This allows users to reclaim mobile devices that receive email, which have been rendered virtually useless by a sea of spam, and to drastically reduce data transfer and download costs.

Pricing and availability
MailFrontier Matador is a desktop application that sells for $29.95. This includes spam signature file updates, product upgrades, and email support for one year at no additional charge. MailFrontier Matador is available for users of Microsoft® Outlook® (2000 and 2002) and users of Outlook Express® (5.0/5.5/6.0), and Hotmail, MSN, and IMAP, when used through Outlook Express.
