Small Businesses Don't Have to Live with Unwanted Email
MailFrontier Launches Small Business Edition for Protection from Spam, Viruses, Phishing and Other Email Threats

PALO ALTO, Calif., August 23, 2004 – MailFrontier™, a pioneer in email security and leading provider of anti-spam solutions, today announced the availability of MailFrontier Gateway Server™, Small Business Edition, an integrated software application to meet the specific email security and management needs of businesses with fewer than 100 employees.

“The need of small businesses to eliminate spam, phishing, viruses and other email threats is just as critical as it is for large enterprises,” said David Ferris, president of Ferris Research.  “However, small businesses require this email threat protection delivered in a single product that fits their budget and is easy to administer.”

Small businesses need effective and easy email protection without the expense and complexity of enterprise class products. MailFrontier Gateway Server, Small Business Edition protects against email threats including spam, viruses, phishing and other threats—reducing the number of products needed to defend a company’s email system, saving both time and money.  Small Business Edition is quick and easy to install, with the same effective email threat protection and personalized spam management as MailFrontier’s enterprise class email security products.

In addition to cost savings, it is critical that small businesses can easily manage the solution.  The MailFrontier Small Business Edition can be deployed in less than an hour and requires less than 10 minutes a week to administer, ensuring that small businesses owners spend minimal time eliminating unwanted email.  In addition, individual users can take control of their own email eliminating the need for any IT staff involvement.

“While large companies have staff and budget for new systems, small businesses face the same email threats, but without the same resources,” said Anne Bonaparte, president and CEO of MailFrontier. “We’ve listened to the special needs of small businesses and developed the Small Business Edition to provide the same high levels of email protection, but priced especially for small businesses.  Our Small Business Edition is self-running, self-updating and self-managing, and allows small businesses to focus on running their business, not managing email.”
