MAIL.COM COMPLETES NETMOVES ACQUISITION

       -Now Leads Internet Business Messaging Market with Largest Corporate
Customer Base-

NEW YORK, NY - February 9, 2000 - Mail.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAIL), a leading
global provider of Internet messaging services to the business and the consumer
markets, today announced the successful completion of the acquisition of
NetMoves Corporation (NASDAQ: NTMV), the global leader in Internet fax. With
this acquisition, the NetMoves team joins Mail.com's existing Business Messaging
organization. Mail.com had previously announced a definitive acquisition
agreement to acquire NetMoves on December 13, 1999.

This acquisition solidifies Mail.com's Business Messaging Division as the leader
in the business messaging market and rapidly expands the Company's international
presence. Finalizing the merger gives Mail.com the largest base of corporate
customers in the industry, a comprehensive suite of Internet messaging services
to meet the ever-growing applications and connectivity needs of the corporate
enterprise, and the technology, sales and servicing infrastructure required to
revolutionize the way companies move information.

As a one-stop resource for Internet messaging services, Mail.com now helps over
8,500 corporate customers worldwide manage the explosive growth of Internet
messaging more reliably, accessibly and cost-effectively. The Company's expanded
business messaging services now include e-mailbox hosting, virus protection,
spam blocking, and content filtering, integrated e-mail and fax for the
corporate desktop, enterprise high-volume broadcast services and production
applications, and messaging-based e-commerce solutions. The combined entity now
serves business customers that include ADP, American Express, Continental
Airlines, Disney, J.D. Power, Mercedes Benz, Norwegian Cruise Line, New York
Times, PPG Industries, WorldSpan and Yahoo!.

"Mail.com now offers a broad range of integrated messaging solutions through an
established business to business sales force," said Gerald Gorman, chairman and
chief executive officer of Mail.com. "With the addition of NetMoves, Mail.com's
Business Messaging Services Division has grown to over 200 professionals focused
solely on the corporate enterprise. We also gain a technology infrastructure of
IP network facilities in 20 key countries, plus an international reseller
network in 70 countries. We have now significantly accelerated our international
expansion and have emerged as the global leader in the industry."

Tom Murawski, chairman and chief executive officer of NetMoves Corporation, has
joined Mail.com as the CEO of its Business Messaging Services Division and a
member of the Company's Board of Directors. Murawski, who was instrumental in
establishing NetMoves as the leading provider of Internet document delivery
solutions, brings to Mail.com over 25 years of senior management experience as
NetMoves' CEO and President and General Manager of ITT World Communications.

"We believe that Mail.com's Business Messaging Services Division combined with
our existing customer relationships and ability to satisfy the wide range of
corporate messaging needs make Mail.com the Company to beat in the Internet
messaging space," said Murawski.
