Bulk E-Mail Server Turbo Charges Custom SMTP Apps

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SMTP Express Increases Throughput and Reliability of Custom SMTP Applications

Philadelphia, PA – April 8, 2003 – Quiksoft Corporation has announced the availability of SMTP Express, an SMTP mail server optimized specifically for high performance bulk mail applications.

“The traditional approach is to submit bulk mail to standard Internet SMTP servers, but high performance applications need a dedicated solution.  Our SMTP servers are specifically designed to intercept messages from SMTP applications and deliver those messages in the most efficient manner possible," said John Alessi, CEO of Quiksoft. “With our solutions, e-mail developers gain complete control over the delivery process and don't have to deal with the complexities and sluggishness of the corporate or ISP mail server."

SMTP Express runs in the background where it intercepts sorts, queues, and reliably delivers outbound e-mail messages.  It picks up standard RFC-822 formatted messages through the file system, rather than through TCP/IP, which increases speed.  SMTP Express can pick up messages from any application that can generate RFC-822 files, however, Quiksoft's SMTP components include built in functionality that makes the integration a no-brainer.

SMTP Express puts you in total control of your outbound mail.  The status window allows you to monitor the progress of your mailing.  Various delivery parameters can be configured, such as how many times to retry failed delivery attempts, how long to wait between retries, and what happens when a message can not be delivered.  SMTP Express can generate log files which can be read by your application to programmatically process delivery information.

A professional version of SMTP Express is available which will send up to 256 messages concurrently in addition to many other performance enhancements "under-the-hood".  The professional version enables you to fine tune delivery parameters on a domain-by-domain basis.  For example, you can limit the number of messages per connection for specific domains, i.e. aol.com, to reduce the likelihood that legitimate bulk mailings will be falsely interpreted as spam.  Also included with the professional version is the ability to create a "plug-in" to programmatically monitor outbound e-mail.

SMTP Express runs on the Windows platform.  More information and a free trial are available at http://www.quiksoftcorp.com/smtpexpress.
