BlueTie and RPost Partner; Set the Standard for Hosted Business Email for ISPs

RPost’s Registered Email Service and Email Encryption Services Now Integrated into BlueTie’s Hosted Email Platform

Rochester, New York and Los Angeles, CA – July 8, 2010 — BlueTie, the leading provider of email hosting and collaboration solutions for small to mid-sized businesses and service providers worldwide, supporting more than 230,000 businesses and millions of users under its current paid distribution model, has integrated RPost’s Registered Email service and secure Encrypted email services into its web-based business email platforms. With RPost’s value added outbound messaging services now included within BlueTie’s business email platform, BlueTie and RPost set a new standard for hosted business email.

“RPost will help us define ‘outbound messaging services’ as a class of value-added email services giving our business users a distinct edge,” remarks Jeremy Hunter, President of BlueTie. “For our customers and partner ISP end users, this means reduced administrative time and cost, less reliance on use of regular mail and courier services, elimination of faxes and scanning, all while retaining legal proof and privacy in email that will protect them in any dispute.”

“BlueTie has elected to focus on bringing the best business email to end users as a hosted all-inclusive offering,” remarks Zafar Khan, CEO of RPost. “The combination of BlueTie’s business email platform with RPost services cements its position as the ‘best’ for business email.”

BlueTie intends to announce general availability of RPost services later this month.
