Sendmail, Inc. is an email management business.
The company is headquartered in Emeryville, CA[1] with offices throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
The company was founded in 1999 by Eric Allman in Emeryville, CA. Eric also created sendmail, an open source mail transfer agent while he was a student and a staff member at the University of California, Berkeley. It is the commercial version of the open source version of sendmail.[2]
In 2005, Sendmail released the Sentrion email infrastructure platform to address the need for full-content message inspection, enabling policy-based delivery[clarification needed] of all human and machine-generated email.[3]
In 2012, Sendmail partnered with Mimecast[4] to provide hybrid-cloud email security, archiving and continuity as some predicted that 2013 would see more organizations implementing hybrid cloud computing strategies[5] to reduce cost and complexity of their messaging infrastructure.
In 2012, Sendmail released Sentrion REAC (Rogue Email Application Control) amid growing security, compliance and other concerns posed by the growth of application-generated email[6] and migration of email to the cloud.[7]
In 2013, Sendmail was acquired by security-as-a-service company Proofpoint, Inc.[8]
