BC's LARGEST INDEPENDENT ISP CHOOSES MAGICMAIL PLATFORM

Posted on: 2018-03-06| Type: Press Release

MAR 6th, 2018 VANCOUVER, BC: LinuxMagic is proud to announce that “ABC Communications” has chosen LinuxMagic's flagship “MagicMail” Carrier Grade Email Platform to service its ISP customers. ABC Communications prides itself on being the largest independent ISP in British Columbia and LinuxMagic is proud to announce this successful move to MagicMail, and the company's continued growth in not only foreign markets, but local markets as well.

MagicMail has now been deployed to both Residential and Business customers of ABC Communications. The selection of MagicMail is the result of comprehensive research by ABC Communications' veteran management team, which is renowned in the telecommunications industry for operational and customer service excellence.

ABC Communications has grown to be one of the most-respected and admired Telecommunications companies in BC. With over 8 offices spanning from Quesnel, Prince George and Vancouver, this family-owned business has grown into one of BC’s largest privately-held telecommunications solution providers. Built upon reputation, they have over 175 broadband broadcast sites across the province, stretching from the US border to Northern BC.  ABC's fiber backbone links over 30 cities to centers in Prince George to Vancouver.

"We had worked with various open source products for the past 20 years and we were never able to offer a proper carrier grade solution to our end users," said Chris, President of ABC Communications. "The transition was easier than expected, and support volumes are down now. Most importantly, our uptime is where it needs to be." Chris continued, “Moving to MagicMail as a platform for our customers was a great decision. I would strongly recommend other ISP's look at this product.” The MagicMail product is focused on serving the needs of telecommunications companies, and is the top selling Carrier Grade email platform for the North American ISP/Telco/Cable markets. Michael Peddemors, President and CEO of LinuxMagic, says, “Our new customer acquisition with ABC Communications further demonstrates our position as the market leader in providing a carrier grade email platform for the Telecommunications Industry.  We have set the bar for ease of use, end user adoption, reducing support costs, and cost effective email delivery, along with overall ROI.  MagicMail delivers on the promise of a reliable carrier grade email platform. We are all extremely pleased to be partnering and working with such a reputable Telco as ABC Communications."

Himmy Lau, Director of Sales at LinuxMagic, says, "Today, customers expect an updated and reliable email solution from their ISP.  By connecting with MagicMail, ABC Communications is addressing the needs of today’s connected customers that check their emails on smart phones and on webmail on average 6 to 20 times a day. Email is still the stickiest 'service' an ISP can offer it's customers, and providing reliable secure email communications significantly reduces customer churn."

LinuxMagic is a wholly Canadian owned/operated Software development company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a long history of inventing and creating technology that is unique, innovative, and reduces customer pain points, and being chosen by an industry leader such as ABC validates their creativity and inventiveness.

The company continues to be a leader in email, email security, and spam protection technologies

MagicSpam Professional 2.1 Now Available

Posted on: 2014-12-30| Type: News Item

VANCOUVER, BC: LinuxMagic is proud to announce the latest release of MagicSpam Professional spam protection for WHM/cPanel, version 2.1-0 today, which introduces a complete new user interface and new updated spam protection definitions.

MagicSpam Professional is the "Simple to Buy, Simple to Install, Simple to Use" spam protection released as a standalone installable spam protection package for one of the world's most common email platforms, WHM/cPanel. MagicSpam works differently than most spam protection products, in that it integrates directly into the email platform's SMTP layer, which means it can reject the spam messages before the server has to process the contents.

With worldwide distribution and resellers, the popular spam protection platform's latest updates bring a fresh new look, and a more intuitive graphical interface, as well as new spam protection features.

And while MagicSpam has always had full logging, statistics and other tools, in addition to its spam protection features, the new UI makes all of this available in an even more user friendly format. As well, it makes customizing the spam rules simpler and easier, allowing even more flexibility for server administrators to "tweak" the performance for their particular environment.

President/CEO Michael Peddemors reports, "There has always been a need for a low cost integrated spam protection solution that works directly in the email platform, but with the every changing face of email requirements and the changing nature of spammers, MagicSpam has always prided itself of constantly re-inventing itself and its effectiveness. This release makes it even more of a joy to use for system administrators"

MagicSpam is designed and licenses on a per server basis, for unlimited users and unlimited domains, for a single low "pennies per month" pricing model. It is also simple to install and use, and doesn't require any DNS changes, firewall changes, and can even work in conjunction with other built-in native filtering if desired.

With simple server wide policy and spam management, MagicSpam reduces overhead, bandwidth, support and problems for the email administrator. Additionally the MagicSpam PRO version even allows individual end users to manage their own spam settings, and offers other email security features both inbound and outbound. All in a fashion that doesn't create the fallout of other spam protection methods, such as backscatter and mail delays.

MagicSpam Professional for WHM/cPanel 2.1-0 is available for purchase at http://magicspam.com or via your favorite reseller.

City West Moves to MagicMail Platform

Posted on: 2009-11-14| Type: News Item

NOV 14th, 2009 VANCOUVER, BC: LinuxMagic is proud to announce that City West Cable and Telephone, Prince Rupert BC, has chosen to move to LinuxMagic's flagship product, MagicMail for all their email and anti-spam handling needs.

Given the current economy, LinuxMagic is seeing more operators who need to have more effecient email servers, that are easier to maintain and more user friendly. ISP's and Telco's are finding that email processing and anti-spam handling is becoming more and more complex, and rather than spending more dollars in IT staff, hardware, and development, it is much more cost effective to purchase a turn-key solution for the ISP/Telco market.

LinuxMagic has had a strong penetration in the US Market for some time, and it is nice to see local providers choosing local technologies designed and built right here in Canada. The MagicMail server is designed to lower adminstrative burdens, and develop happier and more loyal customers. Every support call costs on average $6 dollars, and anything that can lower the number of support calls is a welcome addition.

Not only do MagicMail purchasers get the Email Server Product, they also have the support of one of the foremost experts in email and spam security, as well as a more stable redundant infrastructure built on Linux Technology.

President/CEO Michael Peddemors reports.. “ISP's and Telco's understand. In order to reduce costs, email should be simple, and this can only be accomplished with a complete system. And with our industry leading Anti-Spam technologies and tools, customers are more happy and loyal as well.”

MagicMail is designed for ISP's and Telco's from 2,000 users to 200,000 users and is one of the few products specifically designed for ISP's, and one of the even fewer that comes with integrated Anti-Spam protection. “Allowing users to take control of their own inbox, makes for happier customers. There should be no reason to have to buy an extra 'spam protection', every email server should have it built-in. This makes it much easier for users to control what they want to see and what they don't, and administrators like it as it also helps stop outbound spam leakage, which can get them blacklisted and affect of their customers.” Michael adds.

“City West Cable and Telephone is the number one provider of Internet Access in the Prince Rupert area, and it is always nice when a company of their stature recognizes the strategic advantages of buying MagicMail”.
