Mailchannels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MailChannels is a Vancouver, Canada based company that specialises in protecting businesses with email security software.
Founded in 2003, MailChannels is a privately-owned company based in Vancouver, Canada. It produces high-end email security software intended for companies with more than 1000 employees. Its main product, "TrafficControl" applies Traffic shaping to email to selectively allocate network resources to different email senders - starving spam and virus addresses of the resources necessary to achieve their desired volume of mailing.
MailChannels' founders were also early employees of ActiveState, the software company mostly known for its commercial support of the Perl programming language; ActiveState's eventual financial success was based on its PureMessage anti-spam software. MailChannels' key staff include Stas Bekman, a software developer with the Apache Software Foundation who was sponsored by TicketMaster to maintain the Apache mod perl open source project between 2001 and 2005.
