Mycom Group Introduces New Email and Virus Filtering Service mycomPRO mailMAX II.


Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2004

Mycom Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MYCO), a technology products, managed services, and software development company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, announced introduction of mycomPRO(TM) mailMAX II, a new email and virus filtering service which includes web tools that filter and block junk email (spam) and viruses before they reach an organizations network and servers.

mailMAX II scans both inbound and outbound email checking for viruses, harassing or inappropriate (pornographic) content, pictures, and attachments while blocking up to 95% of unwanted spam.

The new, more powerful, spam and virus filtering service, built by Mycom, operates on a highly secure Linux cluster. New and enhanced features include 60% faster processing time, the ability to create users and groups for each domain, greater granularity in spam filtering, an improved user interface, a summary notification option, an enhanced queue monitor and a bypass list for every setting.

It controls attachments, and oversized message delivery and provides unauthorized encryption detection. Address list and bypass list management is available and policy can be controlled by an administrator.

mycomPRO(TM) mailMAX II employs a tiered approach to help combat the ever-changing and rapidly growing problem of spam. The approach consists of four tiers, working in concert and providing granular tailoring of the system to a client's specific needs.

Mycom's Vice President of Managed Services, Chad Mattix stated, "Our new mailMAX II spam and virus filtering system provides the performance, stability, speed and security organizations are looking for. We recently completed the testing of our new product and started rolling it into our existing customers, and we are getting some great reviews."

Herb Toby, Information Technology Manager for the Philip Vogel & Co. headquartered in Dallas, Texas stated, "The overall effectiveness of the system is 300 to 400 % better than before. The other side of the coin is that when an item is mistakenly caught as SPAM, it only takes a couple of seconds to release it and it is always available to be released. Keep up the Great work!"

Sara Oaks, Network Administrator for Cannon & Company, CPA's, located in Memphis Tennessee, indicated, "The redundancy and design I'm especially pleased with. Our spam received during the beta period has dropped by 50%. The flexibility of configuration, allowing us to use additional features to stop unwanted mail like DNS and Real-time Blacklists adds additional power to keep unwanted mail reduced. Lastly, being able to configure policies differently for different users is a big help. "

Brian Clayton, MCP, Information Systems Group Manager of Sebaly, Shillito and Dyer, A Legal Professional Organization headquartered in Dayton, Ohio stated, "Monitoring trends with users, senders and threats of all kinds is a breeze. The scheduled reporting service is the icing on the cake. It allows each user to manage filtering of their individual mailbox. A great answer to an aggravating issue that plagues every business."
