International Messaging Associates Partners with TZO

Hong Kong, July 24, 2001. Software developer International Messaging Associates (IMA) announces its partnership with TZO, a dynamic DNS provider. This partnership provides significant opportunities for smaller organizations and home users (SOHO) to enjoy the full features and benefits of IMAs latest product, the Internet Exchange Messaging Server (IEMS) 5.

The IMA-TZO partnership signals the availability of the IEMS 5, an industrial strength messaging product, for smaller companies use. The TZO service allows Internet users maintaining a dynamic IP address to run a complete e-mail server. Since many small to medium sized business are finding that having an in-house e-mail system is both more convenient and cost-effective than having email hosted by the ISP, this partnership comes as a timely solution for this concern. With the dynamic DNS service, it is now possible to run Internet mail servers associated with a customer domain name, while maintaining a dynamic IP address.

Full IEMS functionality provides these companies with a reliable and efficient message handling solution. Through the IEMS dial-up scheduler, the server automatically connects to the ISP at pre-determined times, synchronizing with the TZO dynamic IP service, which provides the real time naming service for the customers domain. Once the customers domain is available through the TZO dynamic name service, the mail server can be contacted from any other site on the Internet just as if it had a statically allocated address.

The IEMS Message Store allows users to access their e-mail anytime, anywhere through any POP3 or IMAP4 capable clients or through an Internet browser using the Web Mail Client. The Distribution List Manager allows users to automatically send messages to numerous lists of recipients by just sending to a single group address.

IEMS also includes anti-spam and anti-virus engines, providing protection against threats of spamming and virus attacks. IEMS can also run in a distributed environment allowing computing capacity and resources to be distributed access different networked machines. This is very important for companies that are concerned with maximizing the efficiency of processing while maintaining limited number of machines.

IEMS 5 is now available for downloading and evaluation through the IMA web at http://www.ima.com
