LinuxMagic Signs New Deal with Major US Wireless Company

June 26 2006

LinuxMagic, a leading edge provider of Mail Server and Anti-Spam solutions, has just announced an agreement to provide its 'MagicMail' Email solutions to MobilePro Corp. (OTCBB:MOBL), a leading broadband wireless services company in the United States.


LinuxMagic has been gaining market share and reputation with its MagicMail solution, designed specifically for the ISP and Telco industry. ISPs have continuously been struggling with issues trying to provide an efficient, high volume and anti-spam email solution. MagicMail uses its integrated anti-spam technology to cut down on high spam loads and process more legitimate mail faster. By selecting this robust, all-in-one email solution MobilePro will be able to provide powerful email and anti-spam services to over 150,000 of their customers while dramatically cutting costs.


"Spam continues to pose a significant problem to all ISPs," says Lisa Bickford, VP of network operations for MobilePro. "We have chosen LinuxMagic and MagicMail to help us decrease the flood of unsolicited bulk email to our customers. With the help of 'MagicMail' we expect to build more than 250,000 email accounts within 18 months, without any spam!"


LinuxMagic has long been known for its innovative solutions for ISPs and Telcos. With sales to service providers throughout North America, the MagicMail solution has become well received.


Michael Peddemors, President/CEO of LinuxMagic explains, "10 years ago, a mail server was simple to run. But today, the sophistication required to operate mail servers is a large burden on companies. Having a complete mail server that also stops Spam BEFORE it gets into the server, AND gives users and admin staff the latest in tools, is very cost effective. The attention that our products are getting is very rewarding."
