New Message Transfer Agents

Email as a Business Tool:

There is a new movement under way in the e-mail industry. The movement is likely to accomplish some lofty goals.

1) A severe reduction in spam e-mail

3) More reliable business communications via email
4) More business intelligence retrieved back from e-mail campaigns
