FRAMINGHAM (02/18/2000) - Santa Clara startup BoldFish Inc. next month plans to ship a high-volume outbound mail server designed for e-commerce marketing. The SMTP-based server software, which runs on Windows NT or Unix, can blast out 500,000 messages per hour, according to the company. The software can also manage any "bounce-back" messages that don't reach intended recipients, the company says.

The BoldFish software starts at about $30,000.
