MK Email Size Limiter for Lotus Notes - A unique way to limit maximum email size taking into account the number of recipients

October 12, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
For immediate release: BOSTON, MASS. October 12, 2005:

MK Net.Work, the vendor of the ZipMail email compression product line for Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook and web mails releases today MK Email Size Limiter for Lotus Notes.

Oversized emails and large emails sent to too many recipients are a pain for the Lotus Notes organizations. Not only they consume network and storage resources but they also create severe technical issues like Domino server disk saturation, Domino server crashes, delays in replication, saturation of network links and user time lost due to the unavailability of Notes.
Any Lotus Notes Administrator has to face this kind of issues caused by dumb users sending a 10 MB email to several hundred recipients.

MK Email Size Limiter (MK ESL) implements a unique way to limit, at the source, maximum email size as well as maximum volume that emails sent to multiple recipients can produce:

Definition of what is the "maximum size" of an email:
Not only the size counts, but also the number of recipients.
Two limits can be so defined regarding the email size control:
- The maximum size of the email
- (The maximum size of the email) x (the number of email recipients)

No need for Lotus Notes templates modification:
MK Email Size Limiter for Lotus Notes is independent from the Notes templates. It does not require any Notes templates modification.

The email size control is performed locally, on the workstation:
With MK ESL performing a local control of the email size, the oversized emails and the large emails sent to too many recipients do not need to be sent to the Domino server for size control. They are blocked instantly at the source, when the user presses the Send button. A dialog (configurable) displaying the size of the email compared to the limit is displayed. When the user validates the dialog, the message remains in edit mode, ready to be modified. No network traffic is generated, no transactions on the Domino server, no time lost for the users who are informed in real time and can so take immediate action to reduce the size of their message by removing attached files, pictures and/or text.

Central administration and updates:
MK ESL parameters can be stored in a central database and you can define different limits for different users or group of users (as well as default limits).
Updates of the MK ESL parameters are done automatically at each Notes client startup.
The central administration features of MK ESL also include the transparent update of the installed copies of MK ESL with new versions.
Reports related to the blocked emails can also be consolidated in a central NSF database.

Ultra-concise code:
Since MK ESL is a single 55 KB DLL file installed on the Notes client workstation, it will not consume your Lotus Notes workstation resources!

100% Automatic setup:
Like for all of our client software, MK ESL is delivered in a silent and automatic setup package for instant installation / deployment.
And once deployed, it is able to update itself transparently (parameters and program) from a central NSF database.
