XPEDITE SIGNS STRATEGIC AGREEMENT WITH E-MARKETING FOR messageREACH^SM
Ptek's E-mail Unit Partners With Travel Industry Leader Gaining Access to 31,000 Travel Agents

EATONTOWN, N.J., November 29, 2000 - Xpedite, a global leader in multimedia information distribution and a business unit of Ptek Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTEK; www.ptek.com), today announced its Internet services division, messageREACH^sm (www.messageREACH.com), signed an exclusive agreement with e-Marketing, a leading developer of e-mail marketing applications for the travel industry. Under the terms of the agreement, messageREACH's travel industry customers, which include transportation, lodging and tour operating companies, will have access to e-Marketing's opt-in database of more than 31,000 travel agents in North America.

"messageREACH is already delivering close to two million e-mail messages per day, and this new agreement with e-Marketing should push us to that mark very quickly," says Matt McGill, Director of Business Development, messageREACH. "Access to e-Marketing's extensive database will be a valuable marketing tool for our existing travel industry customers, which includes more than 800 companies such as Marriott, United Airlines, and Holland America Line."

"We decided to partner exclusively with messageREACH because of Xpedite's impressive track record in the fax business and extensive travel industry customer base," said Michael Goldberg, President, e-Marketing. "E-mail has been increasingly embraced by travel agents, and a recent American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) survey found that almost nine out of ten ASTA agencies use e-mail in their offices. This partnership will enable messageREACH's customers to reach a large target audience with their information, such as last-minute space availabilities, tour close-outs and fare specials."

According to eMarketer, a research firm providing Internet statistics, permission-based commercial e-mail message volume will reach 64 billion messages by the end of the year, accounting for 12% of total U.S. e-mail. Combined expenditures of e-mail marketing products, services and advertising will increase from $1 billion by the end of the year to $4.6 billion by 2003.
