London, UK, 12 July 2005 - GFI today announced that GFI MailEssentials

for Exchange/SMTP, its server-based anti-spam solution for Exchange and

SMTP servers, has achieved the Windows Server 2003 certification from

Microsoft Corp through VeriTest, the testing division of Lionbridge

(Nasdaq:LIOX). This certification is based on an established technical

standard to identify software applications that are secure and

manageable, and that run reliably on the Microsoft Windows family of

operating systems.

The "Certified for Windows Server 2003" certification is conducted on

business-critical applications and it is valued by analysts and

enterprise customers alike because it verifies features that make

applications more robust and manageable. GFI MailEssentials for

Exchange/SMTP met these rigorous requirements after being tested by

VeriTest, the only authorized worldwide lab to test enterprise

applications for Microsoft's "Certified for Windows" program.

"GFI MailEssentials provides a proven spam detection rate of over 98%,

thanks to its multi-layered approach that includes advanced Bayesian

analysis and other methods. The product's achievement of the "Certified

for Windows Server 2003" certification confirms GFI's reputation as a

developer of quality software that offers great value to customers,"

said David Vella, Product Manager at GFI. "It is a badge of honor that

serves as a respected independent testimony of the value and reliability

of GFI MailEssentials."

"This certification through VeriTest provides GFI customers added

confidence in their purchase of GFI MailEssentials for Exchange/SMTP,"

said Katrina Teague, Vice President of Marketing and Solutions at

VeriTest. "Confirming that the product meets Microsoft's stringent

standards assures end-users that they can experience a higher level of

reliability and a lower total cost of ownership than if they were to

purchase a similar non-certified product."
