Encrypted Email - new options for securing email delivery in 2003
As more applications use email as an electronic delivery mechanism, the need to send this information securely - customer statements, patient information, intellectual property - also increases. While it may be important to allow an individual to be able to encrypt at the desktop in certain situations, the key requirement will be to integrate secure email with existing content filtering systems such as MIMEsweeper to allow rules based encryption.

	Certified Mail is offered as both for internal deployment and as an ASP service. It offers a desktop Send Certified option.
	Tovaris is an appliance-based secure email solution offering very easy deployment in PKI & non-PKI environments
	Authentica's MailRecall & PageRecall products offer extended document management by controlling access to the email even after the user has sent it

Email/IM Archiving & Mailbox Management - has its time come?
Recognized Messaging Industry specialist Michael Osterman predicts the push to archive e-mail and instant-messaging content will continue through 2003.  Mailbox management is becoming a critical activity in 2003.  As users store more information in their mailboxes, the need to filter and relieve mailbox sizes will generate more requirements for Email Archiving, Quota Management and Mailbox Management Tools.

	EmailXtender will archive Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and SendMail  to scalable, searchable archive databases, maintaining single instance storage of mail.
	Akonix L7 is a software gateway that protects networks against the dangers of public instant messaging (IM) (including AOL AIM, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo! Messenger)
	Mail Attender & PST Attender provide Email Quota Management, Mailbox Scanning and  Document Retention management capabilities in a Lotus Notes/Domino and Microsoft Exchange environment
	MaXCompression autozip - automatically compress and decompress attachments for Outlook & Exchange transparently on the desktop and at the Exchange server gaining significant size reductions in the Information Store and PST files.
	Archive/One will move messages with certain age or content criteria from the primary Information Stores to lesser loaded Exchange resources.

AduIt-oriented SPAM : will explode in 2003
Osterman also believes Antip*rn filtering systems will replace antispam filters as the leading newsmaker in the message content filtering area during 2003.

	MIMEsweeper is the leading email and web content & SPAM filtering tool
	Image Manager extends the MIMEsweeper content filter by adding picture analysis
