                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        The Resale Shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling
Securityholders in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at market prices at
the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at
negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders may offer their Resale Shares in
one or more of the following transactions:

        -      On any national securities exchange or quotation service on which
               the MessageMedia common stock may be listed or quoted at the time
               of sale, including the Nasdaq National Market;

        -      In the over-the-counter market;

        -      In private transactions;

        -      Through options;

        -      By pledge to secure debts or other obligations; or

        -      A combination of any of the above transactions.

        The Selling Securityholders may effect such transactions by selling to
or through one or more broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive
compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions
from the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders and any
broker-dealers that participate in the distribution may, under certain
circumstances, be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any
profits realized on any resale of the Resale Shares by them might be deemed to
be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

        Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any
person engaged in the distribution of the Resale Shares may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to MessageMedia's common stock
for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such
distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling
Securityholders and any other person participating in a distribution will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including without limitation, Regulation M under the
Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of
MessageMedia common stock by the Selling Securityholders or any such other
person.

        We will make copies of this Prospectus available to the Selling
Securityholders and have informed the Selling Securityholders of the need for
delivery of a copy of this Prospectus to each purchaser of the Resale Shares
prior to or at the time of any sale of the Resale Shares.

        The Selling Securityholders will pay all underwriting discounts,
commissions, transfer taxes and other expenses associated with the sale of the
Resale Shares by them. We will pay all costs and expenses associated with the
registration of the Resale Shares. We estimate that our expenses in connection
with this offering will be approximately $11,000.


             The date of this Prospectus Supplement is July 9, 1999
