(PRWEB) January 16, 2003
San Francisco, California – Kerio Technologies Inc., a software developer of security solutions for small and mid-sized businesses, introduced its secure corporate messaging server Kerio MailServer 5.5 for Mac OS X at the Macworld expo in San Francisco. It is the first and only mail server for Macintosh that integrates the award winning McAfee Anti-Virus engine.
Kerio MailServer provides businesses with virtually all possible means of encrypted access to the mailbox – POP3, IMAP, WebMail, and even WAP for compatible mobile phones. It features unique internal antivirus protection, allowing a third-party virus scanning engine to act as an integral part of the mail server. This ensures that not only SMTP traffic, but any mail activity is checked for viruses prior to delivery. Its powerful spam filter implements techniques used in high-end anti-spam systems, such as limiting the traffic that a hostile bulk mail application can potentially create to either send mail or endanger mail server stability.
"The corporate mail server game for Mac OS X has been quiet of late, with just a few players," says Dusan Vitek, Director of Marketing for Kerio Technologies. "AppleÂ’s customer base includes many types of small businesses, independent departments of large companies, and education and government institutions. Our past success with these types of customers, along with AppleÂ’s recent increased focus on server solutions, the long-heralded security of the Mac OS, and Kerio MailServerÂ’s combination of functionality and ease of use, made our decision to support Mac OS X a no-brainer."
Unlike competitors, Kerio MailServer comes with the most mature set of security features that corporate customers seek – secure access, enterprise-strength antivirus, and advanced spam blocking. Our support for Active Directory will allow this solution to thrive in the cross-platform computing environments, while the integrated McAfee Anti-Virus option provides protection exceeding that of most gateway scanning solutions.
Kerio MailServer for Mac OS X is available in two flavors, one with integrated McAfee Anti-virus, the other without.
