Reliable and inexpensive e-mail solution for Linux users
Oakland, CA 01/12/01 Today, SUSE Linux, the international technology leader and solutions provider in Open Source operating system, presented the second generation of e-mail solutions for commerce, public administration, workgroups and all others needing
professional e-mail communication.
The SUSE eMail Server II is an Open Source solution, based on reliable
components consistent with Internet standards such as SMTP, IMAP4, POP3,
and LDAP. In accordance with the IMAP standard (Internet Message Access
Protocol), the SUSE eMail Server II administrates mail on a central
server. Users now have access to their messages and folders via the Internet or
their company LAN, independent from their respective location and the
e-mail client they employ. The server supports all common e-mail
clients, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape
Messenger, and Eudora. It can also be accessed with the included Web-Mail Client
IMP. The user interface enables even inexperienced computer users to handle
their mail with ease.
"The new SUSE eMail Server II allows a new degree of usability. With
this new server application, Linux increases the value of a reliable and
powerful platform that is simple and accessible to even the most
inexperienced user", said Volker Wiegand, president of SUSE Inc.
"SUSE eMail Server II is yet another component that builds on Linux
performance and durability for enterprise computing."
The number of possible users for each e-mail server is unlimited and is
only affected by the performance capacity of the server hardware. The
SUSE Linux operating system uses hardware resources economically,
allowing large e-mail pools to be maintained inexpensively with the SUSE eMail
Server II. This guarantees low acquisition costs and a high security of
investment.
The SUSE eMail Server II is available from the beginning of February
onwards directly from SuSE. The suggested retail price for one server is $299
dollars and includes a manual, 60 days installation support and the server
backup solution Arkeia from Knox Software. Additional technical support and
consulting services for implementing this and a wide variety of other
solutions are also available from SuSE.
