Operating Costs for IT Departments
- New Mail Servers Offer Improved Performance, Security and Expanded
Standards Support for Mac and Unix Environments -
SAN DIEGO - May 18, 2000 - QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leader
in digital wireless communications and advanced electronic messaging
solutions for the Internet, today announced it has released the newest
versions of QUALCOMM's Eudora Internet Mail Server (EIMS) 3.0 for Macintosh
and its free Qpopper Server 3.0 for Unix environments. EIMS 3.0 and Qpopper
3.0 are designed to reduce operating costs by allowing greater throughput
and by providing added protection against security breaches while also
expanding support of current industry standard protocols.
"QUALCOMM's EIMS and Qpopper servers are recognized industry favorites due
in large part to their superior performance records," said Jeffrey K. Belk,
QUALCOMM senior vice president and general manager of QUALCOMM Eudora
Products. "EIMS 3.0 and Qpopper 3.0 provide system administrators for Mac
and Unix environments with the stable infrastructure necessary to manage
the explosive growth in electronic communications while minimizing
operating costs."
EIMS 3.0 for Mac Environments
The new EIMS 3.0 server accommodates up to two times the throughput of the
previous version, allowing users to realize greater functionality from
existing hardware. With this increased efficiency, IT administrators will
not have to rely on additional hardware purchases to manage their increased
email traffic. In addition, improved SMTP AUTH support security, relay
restriction controls and better filters help avoid significant costs
related to unsolicited bulk email, commonly known as spam, and the
prevention of email hijacking.
QUALCOMM's new EIMS 3.0 version supports all the leading email protocols
including POP3, SMTP and IMAP4. The IMAP4 protocol, a new feature of EIMS
3.0, provides email users with the flexibility of maintaining email
messages on the server. This means users have the option to access messages
from different computers and locations throughout the network. EIMS 3.0 is
now available at www.eudora.com/eims at a special introductory price of
$399 (U.S.), with no user limit.
Qpopper 3.0 for Unix and Linux
Qpopper 3.0 offers improved stability, security and support for current and
emerging communications standards. Like all Eudora products, Qpopper was
put through extensive testing to ensure prevention of buffer overruns,
resulting in improved stability and security. Other improvements include:
1) an updated mailbox locking code to add even greater stability to the
server; 2) reduction of support costs by notifying the client with
standardized error reports that include suggested actions; 3) the ability
to set most compile-time settings from the configure script, which saves
setup time and costs; and 4) the ability for systems administrators to
issue bulletins based on group membership. Qpopper 3.0 is available at no
charge at www.eudora.com/qpopper.
"Qpopper is an extremely stable and reliable POP server that is easy to
configure and maintain," said Brennon Church, system administrator of
CTSnet Internet Services, a San Diego-based Internet service provider.
"Qpopper has been our POP3 server of choice for the past four years and
counting."
