StrongMailŪ MTA Express Unveiled at LinuxWorld
New high-performance, Linux-based MTA appliance outperforms competitive MTAs at fraction of price
Redwood City, Calif., August 7, 2007 – StrongMail Systems, Inc., the innovation leader in email infrastructure software, announced today at LinuxWorld the launch of StrongMail® MTA Express, a new commercial grade, Linux-based MTA appliance. Offered at $4,995 USD, StrongMail MTA Express is the most cost-effective, high-performance solution for outbound email delivery on the market.
A current finalist for the Product Excellence Awards at the 2007 LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, StrongMail MTA Express combines superior scalability with smart bounce management, real-time reporting and the tools required to work cooperatively with receiving ISPs to differentiate legitimate commercial email from spam. A plug-and-play replacement for limited or failing legacy MTAs, StrongMail MTA Express enables authenticated, secure delivery of commercial email without the costly integration or extensive customization that is required by traditional open-source MTAs.
“By replacing our previous freeware solution with StrongMail’s high performance and flexible MTA technology, we were able to improve reliability while consolidating resources,” said Michelle Lightfoot, senior email administrator, HouseValues, Inc. "Plus, StrongMail's in-depth reporting gives us granular visibility into email performance, which we have successfully used in conjunction with StrongMail's integrated tools to improve deliverability."
StrongMail MTA Express leverages StrongMail's proven email delivery technology, which is relied upon by some of the world's most well-known brands.
Key Features & Benefits
- Pre-configured, rack-ready appliance for rapid implementation
- Integrated real-time reporting statistics and categorization of bounces at a domain level
- Multiple MTA server, IP address and source routing capabilities to enable virtual servers
- Domain throttling and authentication to work cooperatively with receiving ISPs
- Web-based and command-line administration for flexible system management
"It took less than one business day for my programmers to replace our current mail servers and integrate the basic functionality of StrongMail MTA Express in our development environment," said Marc Pitre, CEO of New Way Media Corporation. "Our initial tests showed no less than triple the processing speed of the personalized emails that our WAMpower.com solution sends, and most impressively, we have an increased amount of data on opens, deliverability and bounces."
StrongMail MTA Express is a 100-percent SMTP-compliant "rack-ready" appliance that can be dropped in to replace unsupported freeware MTAs or underperforming commercial alternatives. Offering seamless compatibility with a company's network infrastructure, StrongMail MTA Express maximizes email network resources to enable reliable throughput speeds exceeding one million messages per hour. Plus, simplified set-up and administration through web and command-line interfaces enable rapid implementation in as little as 30 minutes.
"Network administrators now have a powerful and cost-effective solution for reliable email delivery in a turnkey package designed for ease-of-operation and streamlined administration," said Tim McQuillen, founder and CIO of StrongMail Systems. "By introducing a high performance MTA at this price, there’s no reason for businesses to wait any longer to replace their underperforming freeware or commercial MTAs."
StrongMail MTA Express features StrongMail's patent-pending AMP Technology™ (Asynchronous Memory-based Processing), which utilizes advanced asynchronous memory-based processing for queuing, increased throughput, intelligent queue-level load balancing, delivery and real-time optimization and reporting.
