In 2004, American Companies spent 4 billion dollars in Air Courier fees transferring digital media in envelopes and bags, up from less than 1 billion in 1997. While one might reasonably expect the Internet to reduce the amount of data being sent by Air Courier, the increased security risks of ftp and the inadaquacy of email to handle large files has forced users to continue to send data via Air Courier in ever increasing volume. The BeeMail Products dramatically change the File Courier Market - The BeeMail Secure, Email Attachment Gateway is the first product to provide the industrial strength, secure software infrastructure required for Email to function in the capacity of a secure, large file courier system. Companies now can be assured that using the simplicity of email, their largest files will arrive at the intended destination securely, reliably and long before the Air Courier Truck!
How does BeeMail Work?
BeeMail parses email "on the fly" separating the file attachments from the email body and substituting a URL if the file size exceeds the threshold designated by the administrator. If the files have been substituted by a URL, BeeMail sends the original files to the Beemail https-secure file transfer server while sending the intended recipient is sent a notification message. The recipient clicks on the URL in the notification message and the files can be accessed and downloaded as required by the user.
The BeeMail Secure Email Attachment Gateway is a software only solution that can run on your Intel hardware of choice. The BeeMail Email Attachment Gateway includes unlimited user licensing for one email server and an unlimited number of Secure message Recipients. The BeeMail Email Attachment Gateway also includes the BeeMail On-Demaind Secure Message Gateway functionality. Users can designate any email for secure delivery merely by entereing the word : "Secure" at the beginning of the message subject.

BeeMail supports all the most common email packages for Windows and Macintosh, including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Notes and any other product that uses SMTP as the sending protocol.
Beehive - A long History of Innovation:
The BeeMail Gateway is built on top of a series of previous Beehive Software product releases. Beehive has tackled all of the foundation problems that had to be mastered before email could attach large files. Beehive Software was the FIRST to develop a file transfer product using "On-the-Fly" streaming file compression (1998), the FIRST to use Universal Email Addressing for File Transfer (1999), the FIRST to use https as a secure large file transfer protocol (2000), the FIRST to implement file transfer “latency tolerance” over commodity Internet bandwidth (2002), the FIRST to develop file transfer SMTP proxy agents (2003) and the FIRST to develop a totally transparent Outbound Email Boundary Services Gateway (2004). It's no wonder that Microsoft needs another two years to finish their release; Beehive has been working on aspects of this product line sine 1997!
Beehive (including its private label versions) is the most widely installed file transfer software in the printing, prepress and newspaper industries with over 1500 site licenses and 100,000 end users.
