  iomart Group plc and Sendmail Inc. announce strategic
  partnership focusing on business e-mail applications

iomart,  the  integrated internet  services  company  and
Sendmail Inc., today announces the provision of  a  major
email  ASP  platform enabling Iomart to attack  the  fast
growing  enterprise mail outsourcing market.  The  iomart
email  hosting  platform will debut Sendmail's  versatile
Large Scale Hosting Solution in Europe.

As email becomes increasingly mission-critical, demanding
24   x  7  availability,  security  and  support,  it  is
impractical   for  companies  to  manage  complex   email
services   internally.  Iomart's  mail  service  solution
enables companies to outsource their email services on  a
cost-effective and securely-managed basis.

Angus Macsween, Chief Executive of iomart Group plc said:

'iomart  and Sendmail are delivering a world class  email
solution  for  business customers  at  a  time  when  the
Internet's  all pervasive importance is being  underlined
on a daily basis. Email is the lifeblood of the Internet,
and  iomart  and  Sendmail are working  closely  to  give
business users cutting edge email services,'

Key  additional  features of the platform  include  anti-
virus  protection to intercept viruses before they  reach
the customer, Webmail, and secure document management.  A
revolutionary  capability of the platform  is  e-billing,
which  enables companies to bill customers online, whilst
providing unique upselling and referral opportunities.

Greg Olson, President and CEO at Sendmail added:

'iomart  is providing an invaluable service to  literally
millions of users as e-business continues to grow in  the
UK,  and we are very happy to be able to offer the  right
hosting  solution  to  support  this  huge  demand.   The
partnership    will    further    strengthen     iomart's
comprehensive  offering, providing  users  with  a  first
class  service  which  is  reliable,  secure  and  highly
scalable.'
