spam very annoying.

hardly need tell UK resellers of the spam problem – the majority will be
suffering already, and they can empathise with their customers," said

going to get worse. Corporates are looking for sound anti-spam and web
filtering products right now and resellers have a good opportunity to fulfil
this with Orangebox.” Cobion
(UK) Ltd. has established an office in London on 1st of march 2003 and

agreement with e92plus reflects our commitment to our growing customer base
in the UK and Netherlands Region. Cobion is delighted to announce the new
strategic partnership with e92plus, a specialist in network and internet
security. The relationship brings together two market leaders and underlines
our commitment to the marketplace. We look forward to working closely with
e92plus on a range of customer focused business." said Anscombe. The agreement involves the distribution of Cobion’s OrangeBox product
