Introducing e-mail's next generation

Developers show off productivity tools at Demo 2003

The program tries to make groupware palatable by integrating it tightly into e-mail. Scheduled to ship in the second quarter of 2003, the program adds shared calendars and contact databases, discussion boards, document folders, and timelines to Outlook's and Notes' standard interfaces. Cross-platform compatibility will allow Outlook users to collaborate with Notes types and vice versa.

Spam-Fighters Rally

Multiplecompanies exhibiting at Demo aim to block the scourge of unsolicited e-mail at the server level.

SenderBaseis a new service from e-mail hardware vendor IronPort Systems that aggregates data on mail coming into companies that use IronPort products. The service is designed for mail system managers, who can peruse the data to tell good senders from bad, and then block mail from likely spammers.

Meanwhile, two server-based spam fighters faced off in tests conducted by PC World's sibling publication Network World.

MailFrontier'sAnti-Spam Gateway and CloudMark'sCloudmark Authority raced to find and zap spam in a simulation. Although MailFrontier's product won the competition, neither came close to eradicating all digital junk--proving that the battle against spam is nearly never-ending.
