**SuSE Linux Presents New eMail Server III at IT Expo SYSTEMS**

Calendar functionalities for group appointment planning included

Nuremberg, Germany - 10-15-2001 - Today, SuSE Linux, the 
international technology leader and provider of Open Source 
solutions, presented the third generation of its e-mail solution 
at the IT expo SYSTEMS, held from October 15 to 19 in Munich, 
Germany. SuSE Linux eMail Server III is an easy-to-install, 
complete solution for small and medium-size enterprises as well as 
dedicated workgroups and government administrations.

SuSE Linux eMail Server III reliably handles the reception, 
distribution, and transmission of electronic mail. In compliance 
with the IMAP standard (IMAP = Internet Message Access Protocol), 
SuSE Linux eMail Server III administers and stores all e-mail on a 
central server, thus providing users with optimum Internet or 
intranet access to their electronic mail, no matter where they may 
be or which device or e-mail client they use. SuSE Linux eMail 
Server III supports all common e-mail clients, including Microsoft 
Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger and Eudora. 
Alternatively, users may access their e-mail folders simply with a 
web browser.

System administrators will also benefit from the enhanced 
performance of the SuSE Linux eMail Server. The central data 
storage enables uncomplicated and comprehensive data backups. 
Proven graphical user interfaces facilitate the configuration and 
ongoing maintenance of the e-mail service. Web-based user 
interfaces of the e-mail server save system administrators time 
for implementing user-specific adaptations. With SuSE Linux eMail 
Server III, even inexperienced users are able to adjust individual 
settings, such as setting up folders, subscribing to mailing 
lists, or changing the password.

Updates and Improvements

Compared to its predecessor, version III boasts a number of 
advantages. Both internal and external mailing lists can now be 
set up and administered with SuSE Linux eMail Server III. Also 
new: the Skyrix (http://www.skyrix.com) calendar and scheduling 
functionalities for booking appointments, rooms, or other 
resources. Groups or individuals can be automatically notified by 
e-mail about upcoming appointments. The new e-mail server also 
supports the administration of virtual domains. With a web-based 
user interface, the establishment of new domains is a matter of 
seconds. Companies with low e-mail traffic often use the 
inexpensive collection method in multidrop mailboxes with their 
ISPs. With SuSE Linux eMail Server III, e-mail from multidrop 
mailboxes can now be distributed to the various recipients.

Virtually Unlimited Scalability

SuSE Linux eMail Server III supports all relevant Internet 
standards, including IMAP, LDAP, SMTP, POP3, TLS, and SASL. A 
special characteristic of this Open Source solution: with an 
unlimited number of possible users per e-mail server, the increase 
of users does not cause additional costs or administration 
workload.

The SuSE Linux eMail Server III is based on SuSE Linux Enterprise 
Server 7. The purchase price includes an active maintenance, 
ensuring that SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 is always up-to-date, 
secure, and stable. SuSE regularly notifies its customers 
regarding improvements and makes the respective updates, fixes, 
and patches available for download on the day of their release. 
YaST2 (Yet another Setup tool), SuSE's graphical installation 
tool, guides even Linux beginners safely through the entire 
installation procedure.

SuSE Linux eMail Server III will be available at the end of 
October from qualified software retailers. The recommended retail 
price for one server is EUR 990,- + VAT, including three manuals, 
30 days of support, one year of maintenance, and the server backup 
solution Arkeia from Knox Software. Owners of any previous version 
of SuSE Linux eMail Server can upgrade to version III until 
December 31st 2001 at the reduced price of 740,- EUR + VAT.
