Earlier last week, Ipswitch announced the worldwide availability of Ipswitch IMail Server Plus 2006.1. The company says the newest addition to Ipswitch’s line of messaging and collaboration products continues the Ipswitch tradition of building software products that meet the unique needs of small to medium businesses (SMBs) - products that are easy to use, require little or no IT administration, and that deliver a clear and rapid return on investment.

“A lot of companies, particularly SMBs, can’t afford the overhead and support issues that accompany a product like Microsoft Exchange,” said David Karp, director of product marketing of Ipswitch. “That’s why our IMail and Ipswitch Collaboration Suite (ICS) family of products have been the leading alternative to Exchange for more than a decade.”

The anti-spam technology available in IMail Server Plus 2006.1 includes controls for the frequency of updates, image based spam and faster performance.
