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.
