March 1, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Email filtering services provider Roaring Penguin Software (roaringpenguin.com), announced on Tuesday that its CanIt anti-spam software would be available for free to organizations with up to 50 email users.
CanIt, a server-side anti-spam solution for Linux/UNIX servers, was released commercially in 2002 as an effective way to manage spam and prevent the loss of legitimate email. The product soon became the foundation for a popular line of anti-spam and antivirus solutions used by enterprises, universities, colleges and government offices around the world.
"CanIt was founded upon open-source technologies and the input of the open-source community," says David Skoll, Roaring Penguin's president and CEO. "CanIt has provided a foundation for a successful commercial product line and we thought this free offering would be a fitting way to say thank you to the Linux community."
