Ford Motor Company Expands Relationship With Mail.com; Entire Ford Corporation Can Now
Take Advantage Of MailWatch Virus Protection

NEW YORK, Aug 1, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mail.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAIL), a leading global provider of Internet
messaging services for businesses, today announced that Ford Motor Company, the world`s second largest auto
maker, has expanded its relationship with Mail.com. The expansion allows all of Ford`s controlled affiliates, including
Hertz and Mazda, to take advantage of Mail.com`s MailWatch service, formerly MailZone, which guards Ford`s
corporate e-mailboxes against viruses and spam.

MailWatch is an Internet-based, platform-independent e-mail firewall solution that screens inbound and outgoing
messages while they are still on the Internet. MailWatch acts as a first line of defense ensuring infected e-mails do
not reach their intended destinations, without the need for client-side software or hardware. Completely transparent to
the user, the MailWatch service effectively monitors and screens all e-mail, and eliminates the threat of rogue viruses
from ever reaching the corporate network, providing an extra layer of protection and taking the burden off individual
users. A low-cost, high value-added service, MailWatch not only saves companies money, but can save their e-mail
infrastructure as well. In addition to protecting companies from viruses and spam, MailWatch guards against offensive
and threatening content, and inappropriate attachments.

"Ford has been ahead of the game in recognizing the importance of a secure e-mail infrastructure," said Tom
Murawski, chief executive officer of Mail.com Business Messaging Services. "Affording all of its affiliates with the
opportunity to enjoy the same high level of protection that Ford`s 170,000 worldwide corporate e-mailboxes have,
highlights that competitive edge."

Concerns about the limitations of traditional anti-virus software were reinforced in early May with the virulent outbreak
of the "ILOVEYOU" virus, also known as the "Love Bug." MailWatch was configured to block the virus in less than 20
minutes after the Company discovered it, instantly protecting all of MailWatch`s clients against the onslaught of a virus
that was being intercepted at an extremely rapid rate.
