the market

LIMASSOL, CYPRUS, Oct. 11, 2005 -- IceWarp Software Ltd., makers of the
popular and globally deployed Merak E-mail Server Suite for Windows(r),
today announced the availability of its award-winning e-mail server for
Linux-based networks in SMB, enterprise and ISP environments.  Tuned for
power and reliability, Merak offers support for an industry-leading
100,000 accounts per server at up to 20,000 messages per minute and even
higher when configured for a load balanced operation.  Merak for Linux
is available in the U.S. at www.merakmailserver.com
<http://www.merakmailserver.com/>>  or via www.icewarp.com
<http://www.icewarp.com/>>  for customers located outside North America.

The new Linux Merak E-mail Server Suite was created specifically for the
Linux community using its highly-regarded and industry proven Merak for
Microsoft Windows.  Merak has already been certified for use with Redhat
Enterprise Linux, and tested on Redhat Fedora Core and Gentoo. There are
also numerous installations on Suse, Mandrake, Ubuntu and Debian.

Merak is the first email server for Linux that combines stability,
performance, scalability, and value.  Packaged as an all-in-one,
out-of-the-box e-mail suite, Merak features everything a business or ISP
needs including anti-virus, anti-spam, groupware, and instant messaging.
It provides desktop, Web mail, and remote access for almost every
onsite, subscriber, and telecommuting application.  E-mail and IM can
run in secured mode, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), which is a
critical feature for protecting intellectual assets and user data.

"Merak for Linux has been in development for five years and through an
initial wave of BETA testing, Merak has already proved to be the highest
performing and most comprehensive e-mail solution for Linux users on the
market today," said Ladislav Goc, CEO of IceWarp Ltd. "Linux is
gradually evolving into a legitimate backbone for enterprise and ISP
networks.  Similar to the Windows market, Linux users have been
demanding a powerful, scalable, and reliable email alternative.  Merak
outperforms everything currently available and also expands the
potential for email applications, secures corporate communications,
increases productivity, scales with the business, all the while
simplifying the overall IT management and administration process."

Merak creates backups of all communication, including IM, allowing
companies keep moving at today's e-business pace.  Merak also offers
administration wizards, monitoring and statistics, enhanced folder
management, and toolbar customization for instruction-free
communications management.

Merak is incredibly quick and easy to install and offers integrated
migration tools to help experienced and novice Linux administrators
simplify the process.  Merak also offers a unique, flexible and
affordable licensing system that can be customized to include only the
components required by customers.  Licenses can be used on the Linux or
Windows operating system, enabling seamless switching between each OS. 

Merak is packaged in three specialized configurations for small
businesses, medium to large enterprises, and ISPs looking to provide
email solutions to employees and customers.

ranging from $860 for the stand-alone server and $5,700 for a complete

fully customizable and open to administrative and third part development
for branded and industry-specific deployment. One of Merak's greatest
