London, UK, 12 July 2005 - GFI today announced that GFI MailEssentials
for Exchange/SMTP, its server-based anti-spam solution for Exchange and
SMTP servers, has achieved the Windows Server 2003 certification from
Microsoft Corp through VeriTest, the testing division of Lionbridge
(Nasdaq:LIOX). This certification is based on an established technical
standard to identify software applications that are secure and
manageable, and that run reliably on the Microsoft Windows family of
operating systems.
The "Certified for Windows Server 2003" certification is conducted on
business-critical applications and it is valued by analysts and
enterprise customers alike because it verifies features that make
applications more robust and manageable. GFI MailEssentials for
Exchange/SMTP met these rigorous requirements after being tested by
VeriTest, the only authorized worldwide lab to test enterprise
applications for Microsoft's "Certified for Windows" program.
"GFI MailEssentials provides a proven spam detection rate of over 98%,
thanks to its multi-layered approach that includes advanced Bayesian
analysis and other methods. The product's achievement of the "Certified
for Windows Server 2003" certification confirms GFI's reputation as a
developer of quality software that offers great value to customers,"
said David Vella, Product Manager at GFI. "It is a badge of honor that
serves as a respected independent testimony of the value and reliability
of GFI MailEssentials."
"This certification through VeriTest provides GFI customers added
confidence in their purchase of GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP,"
said Katrina Teague, Vice President of Marketing and Solutions at
VeriTest. "Confirming that the product meets Microsoft's stringent
standards assures end-users that they can experience a higher level of
reliability and a lower total cost of ownership than if they were to
purchase a similar non-certified product."
