QSC Announces Launch of QSC-FlexiMail
Large Email Data Transfer Made
Easy with "QSC-FlexiMail"
Cologne, September 1, 2005 -
Anyone who regularly uses email to send or receive large
amounts of data is familiar with the problem: An inbox
rejects a new message and generates a bounced email
because the message size exceeds the receiver's storage
quota. In a worst-case scenario, the inbox fills to
capacity and rejects all further incoming messages.
To resolve this problem, DSL
network owner QSC AG (QSC), Germany's national telecommunications
provider to the enterprise market, introduces QSC-FlexiMail,
a server-side email system that follows in the footsteps
of QSC's other enterprise-oriented service offerings
Q-DSLmax and Q-DSLpro. With QSC-FlexiMail customers
can comfortably use their regular email tools to send
data up to 1GB in size to one or more recipients with
a standard email address, reliably and without inbox
congestion.
QSC-FlexiMail services are powered
by Mailonator software from British-French content networking
services specialist Castify Networks, headquartered
in London. The service requires no installation of additional
hardware or software on the customer's network and can
be used with any email address, using regular email
client tools including Outlook, Mozilla or Eudora. Once
subscribed, customers using QSC-Fleximail receive transparent
access to a dedicated QSC-FlexiMail server from which
all email attachments are sent.
Email At Once, Attachments on
Demand
When an email sender sends an
email with a large attachment, QSC-FlexiMail receives
the email, removes the attachments and stores them on
a secure web server. The email recipient receives the
regular email text, without the attachment but with
a link to the attachment embedded in the email text.
Clicking on the link downloads the attachment via a
secure connection (SSL) from the QSC-FlexiMail Server
to the recipient's local hard drive. This way QSC-FlexiMail
makes it possible to send very large files even to recipients
with very small Inbox storage quotas.
With QSC-FlexiMail, email senders
can use their regular email tools to send large attachments
easily and securely instead of following the cumbersome
and less secure routine of transferring the attachment
via FTP to a web server, then providing the recipient
with the access information and passwords.
Free 30-day Trial
Pricing for the QSC-FlexiMail
service is based on a per address basis. Pricing starts
with the basic service of two QSC-FlexiMail-enabled
email addresses for 5 Euros per month. For an additional
five QSC-FlexiMail accounts the price rises to 11 Euros
per month, for 10 accounts to 21 Euros, for 30 accounts
to 59 Euros. A basic two-account package is available
for a free 30-day trial period.
QSC customers can order QSC-FlexiMail
online via their myQSC home page. More information is
