Press Release Summary: Doctor Web, Ltd., a Russian developer of IT-security
solutions under the brand-name of Dr.Web, announces the release of a new product for
complex protection of e-mail traffic from viruses and spam for servers operated by
UNIX-based systems (Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris(x86).

Press Release Body: E-mail still remains the most efficient transportation means to
deliver malicious codes to users' computers. Opening or reading such messages may
result in serious consequences - lost of vital information, theft of funds from a
credit card, corruption of a hard drive, or leakage of company's confidential
information. Not to mention lost of productivity and working time daily wasted by
employees on cleaning the mail boxes from spam - a real scourge of modern offices.

The growth rate, quantity, quality, and complexity of Internet threats hiding in
e-mail traffic present high requirements to av-program developers, make them
constantly develop and improve spam-fighting technologies, as do the spammers
inventing new counteraction techniques against spam detection and new masquerading
tricks.

As things go, protection programs installed on corporate servers and ISP\'s servers
become the first and the most effective barrier in the way of viruses and spam. To
be successful, such solutions must be bullet-proof reliable, exceptionally
productive, and fault-tolerant. But such a solution with combination of these three
features can be developed only by a company with a long-term expertise and deep
knowledge in development of such systems. Such expertise has Doctor Web, Ltd. and
now we present to the public fundamentally new solution in the Dr.Web product line -
Dr.Web Mail Gateway.

Dr.Web Mail Gateway is a complex modular solution for processing and filtering of
incoming and out-going SMTP/LMTP traffic on servers under UNIX-systems
(Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris(x86).
Depending on the network architecture, Dr.Web smtp-proxy can be installed both in
the demilitarized zone (DMZ), and in the local company network. Installation of
Dr.Web Mail Gateway on a separate company server increases stability of the mail
filtering system's operation, considerably increases general company security,
extends capabilities of the solution itself.

Depending on the set of connected plug-ins Dr.Web Mail Gateway can filter e-mails
for viruses and spam. License variants: anti-virus, anti-virus&anti-spam.
