Capitola, Calif., March 5, 1998 — Fog City Software has announced the

Already acclaimed by users as “the fastest and easiest” way of running
mailing lists and sending large volumes of email through the Internet,
LetterRip Pro is the ideal solution for individuals, small businesses,
corporations, and ISPs that need to run a mailing list server without the
fuss that often accompanies such servers. LetterRip Pro’s unusual
combination of ease-of-use and stunning performance makes it easy to get
mailing lists and announcement lists up and running.

* New Features

include:

– A single POP mailbox can optionally be used for incoming mail
– Separate list administrators for each list
– Prefixes for message subjects (for example, [ANN], [Humor], etc.)
– Multiple list moderators can monitor each list
– “Fuzzy-matching” domains in email addresses locates similar addresses
– Duplicate email addresses are quickly removed
– Drag and drop email addresses between windows and applications

are now available to fine-tune performance for the most demanding
situations

Waveworks Inc., in Washington, DC. “Setting up LetterRip Pro was painless
and so was sending a message to 10,000 recipients. LetterRip Pro is
amazing!”

computer running Mac OS 7.1 or later. LetterRip Pro supports multi-homing
under Open Transport 1.3 which is available in Mac OS 8.1.
