SparkList Running More Than 50 ListManager Servers

Berkeley, CA - 18 June 2001 - SparkLIST, a leading permission-based email marketing and messaging solutions provider, announced today that it is now running more than 50 Lyris ListManager servers, the largest implementation of its kind in the world, with a total capacity of 10 million messages per hour.

"Since adopting the Lyris ListManager platform in 1999, we've experienced dramatic growth," said SparkLIST CEO Christopher Knight. "The speed and scalability of Lyris ListManager has contributed greatly to our success."

SparkLIST manages 42 million members on more than 3,000 lists. In the month of May, SparkLIST delivered 300 million opt-in email messages on behalf of its clients using ListManager software.

Lyris ListManager is the world's most popular commercial list server. Lyris also recently introduced ListManagerSQL, a one-to-one email marketing application that combines the scalability of ListManager with the flexibility of a SQL database.

Note: The SparkLIST hosting operations were acquired by Lyris Technologies in August, 2002.
