Anti-spam a key component of the company’s comprehensive wholesale email defense service
TORONTO, CANADA, April 5, 2004 — Tucows Inc. (OTCBB:TCOW), announced today its wholesale Email Defense service is now available to Internet service retailers worldwide. Tucows Email Defense service is a comprehensive protection package that includes anti-spam plus anti-virus and content and attachment filtering.
“Solving the spam problem for customers is now a requirement of doing business for Internet service companies,” said Tucows President and CEO, Elliot Noss. “Customers are insisting their service providers have an anti-spam service. Our Email Defense service enables our resellers to immediately offer their customers a quality solution, without upfront costs.”
