SMTP, Inc. Announces New Ecosystem Service Platform for Email Sending and Delivery, Cloud Based Messaging

Recipient-Centric Platform Ensures Higher Delivery Performance, Empowers Email Marketing, Enterprise Senders with Customer Visibility, Advanced Reporting and Seamless Integration with 3rd Party Applications

Cambridge, MA (December 14, 2011) – SMTP, Inc. (OTCBB: SMTP) a leading global service provider of email sending, delivery and cloud-based messaging, today announced the launch of its new Ecosystem Service Platform (ESP). The latest innovation from SMTP (www.SMTP.com), ESP will improve email delivery rates while providing greater visibility for customers that includes more detailed delivery statistics and reporting, an API library for integrating SMTP services with third-party applications, and significantly increased sending performance.

Over the coming months, current SMTP customers will be migrated to the new service platform in two phases. Phase I of the migration to ESP, which is currently underway, will involve customers who subscribe to dedicated service plans. Phase II, which we forecast will begin in February 2012, will include SMTP customers with shared service plans.

Semyon Dukach, CEO of SMTP, noted that, “Our new Ecosystem Service Platform answers the call for companies that rely on email as their business communications and marketing medium of choice, and that need a proven mechanism to maintain a reliable and consistent delivery rate to the inbox.”

He continued, “This new offering reflects our company’s mandate of Recipient-Centric Management, through which the individual recipient is the central focus and the number, type and message results are monitored and reported as email communications continue to grow. SMTP.com is steadfast in its belief that an organization’s list of recipients – registered visitors or users, prospects, customers, former customers, investors, partners – is a strategic investment that must be carefully managed to optimize maximum value and protect it from abuse.”

Also of note, is that in the coming months, SMTP will introduce additional features that further enhance the ESP. In its initial release, ESP will boast new features and functionality such as: Advanced Reporting and visibility into recipient Spam complaint statistics; APIs for use by application developers; Adaptive delivery; and a flexible account structure for segmenting a single monthly plan across multiple senders.

SMTP provides cloud-based messaging delivery solutions that manage recipient communications across multiple applications, departments and channels in order to optimize engagement and increase message receipt and effectiveness. The Company, which recently reported a 70% increase in net revenue for Q3 2011, combines technology with expert management, 24-hour availability, service and support to achieve its exceptional standard for customer satisfaction and growth.

ABOUT SMTP, Inc. (OTCBB: SMTP) SMTP (www.SMTP.com) is a leading provider of cloud-based services to facilitate email deliverability, including bulk and transactional sending, reputation management, compliance auditing, abuse processing and issue resolution. Our services provide customers with the ability to increase the deliverability of email with less time, cost and complexity than handling it themselves.

SMTP, INC Announces Record Third Quarter and Nine Month Results

Net revenue increased 70%, net income increased 171% Pre-tax profit run rate now above $2 million

Cambridge, Massachusetts – November 14, 2011 – SMTP, Inc. (OTCBB: SMTP), a global email marketing and transactional email delivery leader, today announced record financial results for its 2011 third quarter.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, net revenues increased approximately 70%, to $1.134 million, up from $0.668 million in the comparable period last year. The company reported pre-tax income of $0.578 million compared to $0.226 million for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, an increase of approximately 156%. Additionally, net income and earnings per share (diluted) for the same periods increased to $0.344 million and $0.02 as compared to $0.127 million and $0.01, respectively.

“While our company has been operating for over a decade, 2011 marked the beginning of a new corporate strategy. Our financial metrics continue to improve, and we are growing and profitable today. However, we remain in the infancy stage of redefining our go-to-market plan, based on emerging developments in the market,” commented Semyon Dukach, Chief Executive Officer.

“As companies recognize the challenges involved in getting critical messages delivered to their users’ email inboxes, more and more of them are looking to outsource email delivery functions rather than doing it themselves. This is our current value-add today - bulk email delivery – though we are also seeing increased growth in the transaction side of our business. We believe both offerings will lead to continued growth for our company over the coming quarters and into next year,” Dukach continued.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, net revenues were $3.067 million, an increase of 65.7% as compared to $1.851 million in the comparable 2010 period. The company reported pre-tax income of $1.232 million compared to $0.481 million for the comparable nine-month period, an increase of approximately 156%. Net income and earnings per share (diluted) for the nine-months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.704 million and $0.05 as compared to $0.271 million and $0.02, respectively.

“I believe we have only scratched the surface of our company’s potential and as such, we are going to invest resources to improve our technology offering, increase our marketing spend and enhance our real-time intelligence and analytics capabilities to better service our customers,” concluded Dukach.

SMTP, Inc. Announces Record Second Quarter 2011 Results

SMTP, Inc. Announces Record Second Quarter 2011 Results

Net revenue increased 62% and net income increased 169%

Cambridge, Massachusetts – July 27, 2011 – SMTP, Inc. (OTCBB: SMTP), a provider of internet-based email delivery services, today announced record results for its quarter ended June 30, 2011.

For the second quarter of 2011, net revenues increased 62%, to $1,000,555, up from $616,243 in Q2 2010. Profit before taxes increased 185% to $384,213 from $134,918 in Q2 2010. Net income increased 169% to $202,927 in Q2 from $75,511 in Q2 2010.

“The market for email delivery continues to grow and we believe we are providing the right value to grow right along with it,” commented Semyon Dukach, CEO of SMTP. “Our major service products all experienced growth with our dedicated services for larger customers increasing the most.”

Email continues to be the primary communications channel for marketing, social media and ecommerce applications. Companies are expanding their web-based applications to reduce costs while increasing the ease of doing business with existing and potential customers. As a result, the reliance on email for transactional message delivery, such as sales confirmations, billing statements, account changes and service request acknowledgements becomes increasingly more important for businesses.

Popular social media sites, like Groupon, Facebook, Linkein and Google+, have proven to be heavy users of email as a means to engage with their users. Additional social applications and companies continue to appear adding fuel to the need for reliable email delivery capability.

“As companies recognize the challenges involved in getting critical messages delivered to their users’ email inboxes, many are looking to outsource email delivery functions rather than doing it themselves,” continued Dukach. SMTP has been able to attract new customers and increase sales and profits by providing high quality services with 24/7 support.”

Recently, SMTP announced the opening of a new data center to enhance the quality of its cloud-based services. In addition, the company recently announced obtaining a large block of its own IPv4 addresses to support future customer growth and the needs of high volume senders.

SMTP, Inc. Opens New Data Center Designed for Reliable Cloud Computing

SMTP, Inc. Opens New Data Center Designed for Reliable Cloud Computing

Continues Investments to Increase Service Performance and Quality

Cambridge, Massachusetts – July 12, 2011 – SMTP, Inc. (OTCBB: SMTP), a provider of internet-based email delivery services for permission-based marketing and transactional email, today announced it has opened a new state-of-the-art data center designed specifically to increase the service reliability and performance of its cloud-based email delivery services.

“The advent of email based behavioral commerce systems continues to drive massive increases in the amount of email,” commented Semyon Dukach, CEO of SMTP. Deliverability and service improvements are critical and drove SMTP’s decision to embark on our own state of the art data center.”

SMTP is locating its new data center at the Hurricane Electric facility in Freemont, California, with alternative direct routing over the XO Communications fiber network, and relying on CISCO and Dell as the primary router and server vendors. SMTP’s new data center strategy is focused on simplification through consolidation of operations while deploying leading hardware and server infrastructure that will enable it to offer greater service reliability and flexibility. For today’s email delivery service market, service level quality is a critical requirement as new social networks, behavioral commerce systems, and other mission-critical applications rely upon email as the primary means for sending customer communications that include sales order receipts, shipping acknowledgments, billing statements, and registration confirmations.

Previously, SMTP employed a server infrastructure strategy that relied upon contracting managed servers at many of the leading hosting providers including Rackspace and SoftLayer. This initial strategy of distributing its server infrastructure over several hosting providers was designed to reduce service outage risk and improve availability of IP addresses, while enabling variety for deploying servers specific to customer service quality needs. However, due to significant growth in its customer base and higher service level demands, SMTP has shifted its strategy to establish its own data centers for greater volumes, flexibility, and ease of management.

Recently, SMTP was directly allocated 4,096 portable IPv4 addresses by ARIN, providing an ample supply of quality IP addresses for its customers, while guaranteeing no service disruptions due to shortages of IPv4 addresses. Those IP addresses will be deployed on servers located at the new SMTP data center.

“We are committed to continually improving the quality and reliability of our services and are demonstrating that by making a series of investments that include establishing our own data centers where we can deploy and closely manage the reputation our newly acquired IPv4 addresses,” continued Semyon Dukach, CEO of SMTP.

SMTP, Inc. Obtains a Significant Block of IP Addresses

SMTP, Inc. Obtains a Significant Block of IP Addresses

SMTP is allocated 4,096 portable IPv4 addresses by ARIN

Cambridge, Massachusetts - May 24, 2011 — SMTP, Inc. (OTCBB: SMTP), a provider of internet-based email delivery services for permission-based marketing and transactional email, today announced that it has successfully obtained 4,096 portable virgin IPv4 addresses in a direct allocation from the American Agency for Internet Numbers (ARIN).

On February 3rd, 2011, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority allocated the final remaining large blocks of IPv4 addresses to the regional registries, including ARIN in North America. On April 14th, 2011, the Asia/Pacific regional registry APNIC reached stage 3 address exhaustion, triggering a policy of limiting IP allocations to a hard maximum of 1,024 addresses. It is not known how much time is left before the North American IP pool is depleted, but industry experts feel it is a matter of time.

“The entire process for successfully delivering email through the Internet is dependent on IP addresses, and the associated reputation of those addresses for sending legitimate email that isn't spam,” commented Semyon Dukach, Chairman and CEO of SMTP. “More and more of our customers are requesting their own dedicated IPs, while ISPs are experiencing a growing IP address shortage. As a result it has become critical for us to have direct control over a sufficient supply of IP addresses to accommodate our growth.”

“IP reputation is the single most important factor in determining whether outbound email ends up in the inbox or in the spam folder,” continued Dukach. “When a new IP is requested from an ISP it has often been used for sending email in the past, with dubious effects on its reputation. On the other hand, with this new direct allocation of 4,096 virgin IPs from ARIN, SMTP will be in a position to guarantee that our corporate customers can send their email over IPs never previously used by anyone else. In addition, only directly assigned portable IPs can be moved from one data center to another, assuring that our customers will never have to lose their earned IP reputation simply because we move our servers.”

“For a company in the email delivery business like SMTP, adding a block of over four thousand clean and portable IP addresses that we directly control is a critically valuable asset in an environment of rapidly dwindling global supply,” stated Richard Harrison, President of SMTP.

The next generation of IP address technology, known as IPv6, has an abundance of addresses for allocation to both ISPs and end-user companies. However, migration to IPv6 has been slow in developing and its impact when it comes to the email delivery and reputation process is still an unknown.

“IPv6 migration is eventually inevitable, but time frames and impact are still a little fuzzy. Until that story unfolds, we feel very comfortable that our customers will not be forced into a rushed technology migration before they are ready, due to the unavailability of IPv4 addresses,” said Harrison.

SMTP, Inc. Advises Companies to Take Control of Their Email Destiny and Delivery

SMTP, Inc. Advises Companies to Take Control of Their Email Destiny and Delivery

CAMBRIDGE, MA — April 4, 2011 — In news reports that hit today, the database of online marketing services provider Epsilon was hacked, resulting in the theft of millions of customer email addresses from major brands. Luckily, no identity theft occurred in the form of stolen social security numbers, bank accounts or passwords. Yet, none of this is news. Data breaches are all too commonplace, affecting hundreds of public and private companies every day.

“There is a very simple solution to this problem,” said Semyon Dukach, CEO of SMTP Inc., a provider of high-volume outbound email delivery services for permission-based marketing and transactional email. “Companies need to control their email address lists. SMTP does not keep customer email addresses or credit card numbers on file. In a nutshell, our own servers handle all the traffic and serve as proxies to our customers. We never ask customers to hand over their list of email addresses since that is proprietary information that is best left confidential.”

On Friday, the information technology trade magazine Network World published the article, “5 Best Practices to Improve your Email Delivery Success Rate,” detailing the technology behind SMTP Inc.’s approach to “hands-off” email delivery.

BOSTON — January 25, 2011: SMTP, Inc., (www.smtp.com) a provider of high-volume outbound email delivery services for permission-basedmarketing and transactional email, today announced that it welcomes Amazon’s entrée into the market for email delivery services. SMTP views the latest move by Amazon as a definitive validation of the expanding market need for email delivery services. SMTP is the most established provider of email delivery services with over 12 years of experience and thousands of customers worldwide.

“We have experienced accelerated growth over the past two years as the challenges surrounding email delivery have increased,” explained Semyon Dukach, CEO of SMTP. “Many have looked at SMTP as the big fish in a small pond of exclusive delivery providers. For a company like Amazon to enter this market proves the market need and size is significant and growing.”

SMTP has always focused its value around providing expert support to its customers. Within the email messaging industry, deliverability is the point where business goals and the execution of technical systems come together.

“Many of our customers do not have or want to maintain the technical expert staff required to consistently deliver email,” continued Dukach. “They want to focus their resources on marketing and depend upon us to provide a solid technical infrastructure, oversight to establish a very good IP reputation and be responsive to issues as they arise. It is unclear if Amazon’s Simple Email Service (SES) intends to provide the level of high touch support that we provide.”

No Halt by U.S. Government to sending WikiLeaks documents by email according to SMTP, Inc.

No Halt by U.S. Government to sending WikiLeaks documents by email according to SMTP, Inc.

BOSTON — December 11, 2010: SMTP, Inc., (www.smtp.com) the largest independent provider of high-volume outbound email delivery services for large permission-based marketing campaigns, today announced that it has not been contacted by any U.S. government agency to censor or stop the direct emailing of State Department cables by WikiLeaks. As the primary means for sending data, email is a highly likely channel for controlling the distribution of hundreds of thousands of classified and secret U.S. State department documents associated with the controversial WikiLeaks.

Because of SMTP's supplier role in sending millions of emails on behalf of its customers, the company periodically receives notices from government agencies to take a particular action for a specific customer in which SMTP is obligated to comply by law.

"The proper process for us to comply with any government request is to receive a legal document specifying a court ordered action, such as a warrant," said Semyon Dukach, CEO of SMTP. "In the case of WikiLeaks, no such notices have been received by SMTP, Inc."

SMTP, Inc. Rolls out Faster Email Delivery Services by Upwards of 200% Performance

Release 3.7 expands functionality for its Dedicated Server customers

BOSTON -- November 22, 2010: SMTP, Inc., (www.smtp.com) a provider of high-volume outbound email delivery services for large permission-marketing campaigns,
today announced release version 3.7 of its email delivery platform that increases speed, reliability and performance by 200%. Providing metrics and traffic
analysis, SMTP's server relay acts as a trusted proxy to help legitimate senders avoid being inappropriately caught in spam filters or blacklisted, while improving ROI on email marketing campaigns.

With version 3.7, customers using SMTP dedicated servers will experience a dramatic improvement in the performance of their email delivery services. In addition, the new release provides an expanded platform for SMTP to offer its customers additional email tracking and reporting functionality in the future.

By using SMTP, marketers can minimize systems-level interactions that affect email delivery, such as bounces or spam complaints caused by the fickle behavior of spam filters and server- to- server bottlenecks. All these factors can be in play for inflating abuse complaint scores and lowering delivery rates.

"Our new software release is a significant improvement to our overall architecture enabling our customers to realize improved performance by as much as 200% while facilitating the accelerated development of new monitoring metrics for email delivery," said Semyon Dukach, Chief Executive Officer of SMTP, Inc. "As mission-critical applications continue to use email as a critical communications vehicle, customers are requiring greater visibility into delivery success and failure."

"Legitimate senders of email are continually challenged to deliver their emails in a compliant manner and not be flagged as spam. Many companies require greater visibility into what is happening with their emails as they are delivered from their application server, through the Internet and to the recipient's inbox. Managing reputation, complaints and bounces are key components to maintaining a compliant email operation that produces optimal delivery rates," Dukach noted.

Many companies struggle to maintain an opt-in list of contacts, whether it be customers or prospects. Unfortunately, the requirement for providing an unsubscribe feature only works if recipients use it. Behavior can be unpredictable, and many people are apt to click the spam button in lieu of searching for an unsubscribe link or stepping through the unsubscribe process.

"What was opted-in one day can be quickly flagged as spam the next," Dukach added.
