Lyris to Integrate Mailshell
Spam Filter into its MailShield Server Software Application
BERKELEY, CA - September 1, 2004 - Lyris Technologies,
developer of the world's best-selling email marketing software,
today announced that it will enhance its award-winning MailShield
Server email filtering application by integrating Mailshell
Inc.'s anti-spam engine. Lyris will include the Mailshell
Spam Recognition System (MSRS) in its upcoming release of
MailShield Server 4.0 this September. The 300 businesses
using MailShield Server to protect their organizations from
unwanted email and unauthorized relay will thereby join
the more than 4,000 companies and 10 million users worldwide
currently relying on 'Powered by Mailshell' products to

Lyris' MailShield Server is an advanced email
filtering application that identifies and disposes of undesirable
mail, and protects mail servers from unauthorized relay attempts.
First launched in 1998, MailShield Server offers administrators
a wide choice of filters and rules to protect enterprise
installations. The previous version of MailShield included
the popular SpamAssassin open-source filtering engine, and
this latest release adds Mailshell's widely lauded Spam
Recognition System to the product's anti-spam arsenal.
"We sought a partner with extensive, complementary
anti-spam expertise, so that we could bring an even more
powerful MailShield to market faster," said Steven Brown,
COO of Lyris Technologies. "Our testing revealed that Mailshell's
anti-spam engine is more accurate, faster, and easier to
use than others, and we take great confidence in Mailshell's
exclusive focus on supporting its OEM partners."
"Lyris has hundreds of blue-chip customers
who depend on MailShield to protect their businesses," said
Tonny Yu, president and CEO of Mailshell. "Lyris' numerous
awards and 10 years in business are testament to its excellence,
and we're excited to work with such a solid organization."
