Ipswitch Enhances Product with Commtouch Zero Hour

Last week, Ipswitch Messaging Division, the maker of IMail Server and Ipswitch Hosted Email, announced the release of its IMail Server v11.03. Geared towards small and mid‐sized businesses, IMail v11.03 now offers the availability of Commtouch Zero Hour Virus Outbreak Protection.

According to the company, “Zero Hour offers real‐time virus protection to bridge the early hour vulnerability gap between when an outbreak first occurs and when traditional anti‐virus solutions are able to issue a virus update. While traditional anti‐virus solutions are still crucial for known viruses, Zero Hour focuses on new and variant virus protection.”

Along with the addition of Zero Hour, Ipswitch has made a number of enhancements for this release, such as archiving on multiple levels including users, lists or aliases. SMTP connection checks were also enhanced to allow IMail users to reject messages based on spam/virus classifications prior to a message being accepted – minimizing backscatter.

Also included in the new release is additional mobile synchronization support for email, contacts and calendar events for the HTC Incredible, Motorola Droid X and Motorola Droid A855 devices.

“Security is top of mind for our customers, “ says Tripp Allen, president of the Ipswitch Messaging Division. “With the landscape of malicious attacks changing so often, being able to stay on top of new viruses is critical. It is a necessary addition to any traditional anti-virus program.”
