From Jul-2007, all MailServe clients will automatically get the benefit of the CommTouch's RPD and Zero-Hour technology AT NO EXTRA COST.

"After a lengthy evaluation process, we selected CommTouch's Zero-Hour^TM virus protection and spam defense solution."

"We are pleased to be working with one of India's leading and fastest growing email service providers. We see enormous potential in this new, long-term partnership with QLC" said Ronni Zehavi, VP of Business Development at CommTouch.

The new technology will also enable detection and real time blocking of spam outbreaks from all over the world, in every language and any format, increase end-user productivity through nearly perfect elimination of spam as well as saving on IT costs related to handling spam. This will be in addition to and can be coupled with features like Moving Spam Mails to Spam Folders to avoid downloading the same.
