November 19, 2008; 09:01 AM

Eugene, OR (November 19, 2008) - Palo Alto Software today announced availability of enhanced SPAM control for Email Center Pro with SpamAssassin. In the small-business market, the open source SpamAssassin dominates many anti-spam systems, according to Network World. The complete email management solution will help small businesses nationwide save time and keep control over their email management.

Email Center Pro eliminates the hassle of manually managing shared email coming into inboxes such as support@yourcompany.com orsales@yourbusiness.com, or automatically routing email to anyone in an organization.  Now, small business can always see how many messages are in each inbox, how many messages have been responded to and who responded. By controlling the flow of incoming email, small businesses can better manage their email and use the opportunity to avoid response overlap and missed email.  With Palo Alto's Email Center Pro SpamAssassin feature, small businesses nationwide can now get control of their inbox.

Additionally, Email Center Pro reliably archives all messages, providing a history of every email that has gone through the service. Email Center Pro is password-protected and encrypted to ensure security and uses the Amazon Web Services infrastructure for the same level of reliability as the Amazon.com store.

"SpamAssassin gives our users even more functionality, and puts Email Center Pro in position to meet all of a small business' email needs," said Palo Alto CEO Sabrina Parsons. "With new features like this one coming out week after week, Palo Alto is thrilled about its opportunity to relieve the typical pain that email causes for small businesses."

Email Center Pro information and pricing is available at www.emailcenterpro.com.
