DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 10, 2000

MAILpreserver(TM) enables

management of unchecked mailbox growth, and preserves email within a

secure archive for future retrieval

Content Technologies today previewed MAILpreserver(TM) for Microsoft Exchange 2000.

This new product will allow customers to preserve, index and retrieve email. MAILpreserver(TM) enhances administration of mailboxes with policy-based archiving, which provides an audit trail for legal, regulatory and standards compliance, and reduces total cost of ownership by minimizing downtime.

The growing legal and regulatory pressures to maintain detailed records now extends into the electronic domain, which includes maintaining an audit trail of internal and external message traffic. As a result, increased mail volumes need to be held on the Exchange server, which can impact system performance. The choice is to either continually increase server capacity or archive mail to storage external to the Exchange server. MAILpreserver(TM) provides a secure archiving capability combined with the flexibility to predefine archiving policy for individual mailboxes.

"More and more of our customers are recognizing that email content should be viewed as an asset which needs to be effectively managed and controlled," said David Guyatt, CEO, Content Technologies. "MAILpreserver(TM) provides a policy-based archive solution with a unique search capability, which allows quick and easy retrieval of single or related groups of emails within Exchange environments."

"With the launch of Exchange 2000, Content Technologies will provide a valuable component to customers implementing a reliable messaging solution," said Stan Sorensen, group product manager, Server Applications at Microsoft. "Content Technologies is focused on delivering customers a reliable, scalable, easy to manage Exchange 2000 messaging and collaborating infrastructure."

MAILpreserver(TM) will be compatible with Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000, supporting customers as they migrate onto the new Microsoft platform. Within its Exchange 2000 strategy, Content Technologies will upgrade its flagship content security product "MAILsweeper for Exchange" and continue to provide comprehensive content security solutions which address customers' business and network issues.
