Stalker Announces Version 3.1 of the CommuniGate Pro Mail Server for FreeBSD Key Features: Multi-platform Support Industry-strength, highly scalable Administration via the Web Extensive multi-domain support Unique IMAP multi-mailbox features HTTP access to E-mail, built-in Web Mailer Extensive Anti-Spam techniques Mailing Lists with Web Access and Interactive Archive Search LDAP and ACAP Support Personal Web Pages with automated publishing Cluster Support MILL VALLEY, CA - September 21, 1999 - Stalker Software, Inc. today announced the version 3.1 of their hi-end CommuniGate Pro messaging system. CommuniGate Pro is a Unified Messaging Server which supports most major operating systems. CommuniGate Pro is recognized for its many features, high speed and reliability. Since its first commercial release in September 1998, Stalker has expanded the operating systems it supports to include HP/UX, Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux/ LinuxPPC, WindowsNT, MacOS X, BSDi, AIX, D/Unix, and IRIX. On all platforms, CommuniGate Pro presents the same interface and uses the same file formats, allowing any organization to switch server platforms in less than an hour. Scalability CommuniGate Pro can support 100,000-200,000 accounts from one server making it a viable solution for small to mid-size ISP's. For extra large ISP's handling millions of accounts, CommuniGate Pro offers clustering support. CommuniGate Pro clustering can be used to build frontend/backend multi-server configurations, as well as symmetric cluster sites. Based on inter-server synchronization methods, the CommuniGate Pro Cluster can employ shared file servers (such as NFS servers) without the overhead and reliability problems associated with the OS-level file locking. Personal Web Pages In addition, the new 3.1 version of CommuniGate Pro supports Personal Web Sites with automated publishing. Users can create their own Web sites and upload web files to the CommuniGate Pro server using any composer application that supports the HTTP PUT method (like Netscape(r) Composer). Besides, Personal Web Sites can be updated using simple HTML forms. Support for uploading via the CommuniGate Pro FTP server should follow in the next release. Security CommuniGate Pro supports secure connections for all services it supports. Not only the HTTP services (Web Administration and WebUser interface to E-mail) can be used via secure internet connections, but all other communications, such as IMAP, POP, SMTP, LDAP, ACAP can be secured. Anti-Spam Features Stalker Software is known for the sophisticated Anti-Spam features in their current mail servers, and CommuniGate Pro is no exception. These features include: restricted relaying, black-listing IP addresses, domains and individual accounts; return-path verification, and support for DNS-based black-list servers (RBLs). In addition, CommuniGate Pro now supports the highly effective Spam Trap feature created for the Stalker Internet Mail Server. By creating a fictitious, "spam-trap" account with CommuniGate Pro, the bulk mailing lists that use robots to scan and gather email addresses from web pages will pick up this fictitious account for their list. Any email coming into the server addressed to the "spam-trap" account will allow the Server to reject the entire messages, and they will not be delivered to any real recipient on your site either. Try Before You Buy CommuniGate Pro is marketed in the same manner as the CommuniGate System for the MacOS. There is a Free Trial Version available at <http://www.stalker.com/ CommuniGatePro/>. This version is the actual software for purchase, but it adds banners to the transferred messages. Stalker issues license "keys" that should be entered into the server settings to disable these banners. Updates and support The updated versions (both betas and finals) are posted on a regular basis. Update information and free technical support are available via Stalker's very active mailing list cgatepro@stalker.com.
