Norwegian ISP Altibox chooses Alinto's secure email platform to provide messaging services to its clients
31.5.2023 11:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Norwegian ISP Altibox has decided to outsource its email platform to Alinto, with the aim of modernising its messaging services for 180 000 clients in the Nordics. The services provided are based on the SOGomail server and the Cleanmail security service, hosted by Alinto. This move happens a few months after the takeover of the SOGo open-source project by Alinto. It confirms the editors’ ability to address projects on an international scale and cover the whole email chain with GDPR-compliant solutions.
Modernisation of an email platform used by 180 000 clients
Until 2022, Altibox had a messaging platform built and operated in-house. As that platform started to require extensive maintenance operations, Altibox had to move to a new solution.
"We had two options : discontinue the service and delete all the emails – which was not acceptable from a client standpoint, or outsource our email services as we did not have any internal resources to create a new solution”, Marius Ekeland explains.
Thus, the company, which provides email services to 180 000 clients, decided to outsource to an external provider. “Email service is not our core business. We just need to deliver it in the correct way, with a secure manner”, Thomas Lunde adds.
Aligned on features, datacenter compliance and ecological expectations
After issuing an RFP, Altibox chose Alinto's solutions. The services provided are based on the SOGomail server and Cleanmail security service hosted by Alinto. The ISP appreciated the simplicity of the product and the operational stability of the Alinto solution. “Their package provides the best value for us, as it includes insights and access to support as well as an administration portal. This would give us the visibility we needed to properly run the service.
Also, the data centers’ locations are GDPR-compliant and have high ecological expectations. That is essential for us”, Thomas Lunde notes.
Meeting security and migration expectations
Security is of primary importance for Altibox. “The Cleanmail functionality is a big bonus for us because we are constantly strengthening the security of our services as an ISP. So, that matched our strategy”, Markus Ekeland confirms.
Migration of existing mailboxes was a big challenge with 180 terabytes of data to migrate. During migration Alinto’s teams came on-site. “The technical migration went smoothly. We migrated compressed data files, with some uncertainty about what would be the final volume, once uncompressed. Alinto had to make some short notice adjustments, and they proved to be very reactive. From my end, I am really happy because it is a big move”, Thomas Lunde adds.

ELFA Vape Aerosols Less Harmful Than Cigarette Smoke: Study29.7.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Levels of 17 constituents in aerosols from ELFA, a pod system vape by ELFBAR, are undetected or substantially lower than those in cigarette smoke, reveals the latest peer-reviewed study published by iScience, a scientific journal. Aerosols in this study are generated by facilities under standardized laboratory conditions. The tests involve 17 cigarette smoke-related analytes during vaporization of vape liquid from ELFA’s pods in four flavors, including Super Tobacco, Spearmint, Strawberry Ice and Watermelon. Findings indicate that adult smokers completely transitioning to ELFA pod system could reduce, or even eliminate, their exposure to multiple harmful constituents compared with consuming combustible cigarettes. “This study adds to the growing scientific evidence supporting the effective role vaping products play in reducing, or even eliminating, exposure to harmful chemical substances for adult smokers,” said an ELFBAR spokesperson. “Providing adult users with quality cessation alte
