What do these two have in common?  For most people, probably nothing.

But here at Plixer International, the last business day before the Christmas holiday break, it has been customary to set up a game server with the Quake game on it.

Everyone brings some yummy food to share (brownies, meatballs, cheese & crackers, are some of the options), and for a few hours of the day, work takes a back seat to eating and gaming.

While attending CeBit in Germany last March, I was able to meet our German reseller, TCC Gmbh, as well as our Nordic reseller, Plan Two. These types of meetings are important for two reasons. The first is being able to put a face with a name. Knowing who you are talking to and being able to associate that person with a physical meeting can go a long way in helping that relationship grow.

The business of reporting on Microsoft Exchange logs just obtained a new player:  Plixer International who has released a product called Mailinizer.  This is a company that is first and foremost a NetFlow traffic analyzer company, so when Plixer decided to break into the email reporting software market, I wanted to discuss it with Scrutinizer NetFlow Analyzer Product Manager Michael Patterson.

As usual, he had some great information for me. Read more »

Recently we released an email reporting solution that provides in depth reporting on exchange logs. Releasing an exchange log analyzer on the surface may not seem all that innovative, however we did it with a big twist. This isn’t just an “email tracker” as it has some significant email security benefits.

Mailinizer is a full Microsoft Exchange log analysis solution that when paired with Scrutinizer provides access to all event types with sophisticated include and exclude filtering. And, since most large enterprises have multiple servers, we made sure that a single report can be run against dozens of mail servers.
