MILL VALLEY, CA - May 15th, 1997 - Stalker Software, Inc. announced today
the first public beta version of the Stalker Internet Mail Server - a
high-performance Open-Transport native SMTP, POP3, and "poppwd" server for
the MacOS.
The industry-strong Stalker Internet Mail Server is FREE. It does not have
any demo/trial limitations, and it can be used to support several hundred
accounts and multiple domains. This product fills the gap between the
commercial servers as the CommuniGate(tm) Integrated Messaging System and
low-end freeware mail servers.
The high performance Mail Server relies on the OpenTransport features.
While the first release is still slower than the best UNIX mail servers on
comparable CPUs, several enhancements will be implemented shortly. But even
this beta version (available in the MC68K code) easily handles 100+
incoming and 100+ outgoing simultaneous connections on a Quadra or low-end

- Use ProMaker Utils to open a TEXT file with the script-steps in it (some
sample text files are included).
- Enter the complete script by pressing command-E.
ProMaker Utils will bring FileMaker to the front and start pasting the
steps into the selected script. It is that simple.
