Verndale Service Eliminates E-Mail Bounce-Backs: New Mailbag Messaging Service Comes on Heels of a Flurry of New Customer Projects

Verndale Corporation, a Boston-based provider of Internet consulting, development, and support services, announces the following news from the month of April.

BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) April 30, 2004 --- Verndale unveiled its new Mailbag Messaging Service that prevents lost or bounced e-mails by providing customers with a safety net for their in-house e-mail servers. Mailbag is targeted towards emerging and midsize businesses that often lack the resources to manage a fully redundant messaging infrastructure, which can result in lost or bounced e-mails due to routine mail server reboots, software updates, or prolonged connectivity outages. Verndales new network of SMTP servers accepts any mail destined for customers domains if their primary server is offline or if the network is unavailable. At timed intervals, the Mailbag system then automatically attempts mail delivery to the customers in-house server for distribution. Mailbags cost is reasonable at $300 yearly for the primary domain and $120 for each secondary domain to be protected. It is compatible with Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, SendMail or any SMTP mail server.
