August 28, 2001 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Sendmail, Inc. (sendmail.com), a

leading provider of Internet messaging solutions,

announced yesterday the immediate availability of its

complete line of products for Linux on the IBM

mainframe. Sendmail Switch, Sendmail Advanced Message

Server and Sendmail Mobile Message Server on Linux for

the mainframe provide cost-effective email systems

with high scalability, reliability and manageability.

Performance tests conducted by Sendmail, Inc. and IBM

demonstrate that a single IBM eServer z900 mainframe

can support more than 2 million users, making it the

largest single-server email systems on Linux available

in the industry. For organizations requiring larger

environments, Sendmail's cluster architecture allows

customers to harness multiple mainframes to

transparently serve an even greater number of users.

"Service providers and a growing number of enterprises

see centralized email hosting as the preferred way to

provide the scalability and reliability needed to deal

with increasing email usage and message complexity,"

said Mark Levitt, research director, IDC. "The

mainframe environment is a strong platform for

centralized email hosting, especially for

organizations already using mainframes for

mission-critical applications with high performance

requirements."

Today large enterprises consider email as a critical

business system and require the high reliability and

low total cost of ownership. Impressive cost

reductions can be obtained for enterprises that

already host critical business applications on a

mainframe by adding the Sendmail solution as an

additional workload. Or, distributed enterprises can

consolidate multiple departmental or divisional mail

servers onto a single highly reliable platform. In

both cases, the company says the mail system

reliability improves while hardware and system

administration costs are substantially reduced.

"There is no debating that email is a vital

application for conducting business today," said Greg

Olson, executive vice president business development

of Sendmail, Inc. "Most larger companies already run

their critical applications on the mainframe platform

because it provides a level of reliability unmatched

by any other system with a total cost of ownership

optimized over 30 years. For these companies email is

best served on their mainframes."

Sendmail solutions on Linux for the IBM eServer z900

are available today. For product and pricing

information, please visit the company's Web site.

Sendmail, Inc. will be exhibiting Aug. 28-30, 2001, at

Linux World in San Francisco in booth no. 1144.
