eliminates spam.

Press Release Body: TRAVERSE CITY, MI - September 18, 2007 - Appia Communications, a
leading provider of managed IT and telecom services, today announced a new email
management service that virtually eliminates spam.

The service, called SpamManager, enables email users to take control of the email
that they receive. Through an easy-to-use Web-based interface, users can block
malicious messages; create white lists of approved email addresses, and more.

"Spam and other malicious email can be extremely disruptive, and spammers are
constantly inventing new ways to flood our inboxes," said Victor von Schlegell,
Appia's president. "SpamManager provides a much-needed solution to this problem,
enabling companies and organizations to make an immediate and permanent reduction in
unwanted email."

SpamManager uses rules to determine if messages are spam. When spam is identified,
the server quarantines the message and does not deliver it to the user's mailbox.
Users can review quarantined messages by logging into a Web-based interface. Once
logged in, the user sees a list of all messages that have been stored on the server.
Approved messages can be released and sent on to the user's inbox, while spam is
easily deleted. Users can also add preferred addresses to a white list, which
guarantees delivery of all messages from that sender.
