“IBM has partnered with web messaging specialist Sendmail to
create messaging software for Big Blue’s Linux-based eServers. The
two companies will develop, market, distribute and support
Sendmail’s internet messaging platforms, which include Switch 2.1
router software and Advanced Message Server, on IBM’s
machines.”
“Advanced Message Server manages the workload between multiple
departmental mail servers and provides a module for secure email
access for both local and remote mail users. It can handle a range
of protocols including Wap, POP email, internet messaging
application protocol and Webmail.”
“Both companies will also integrate the Sendmail Switch
routing tool with Lotus’ Domino back-end infrastructure for
enterprises and service providers. IBM plans to include Lotus’
Sametime and Quickplace instant messaging and collaboration tools
with the Linux-ready eServers.”
