Company History

The company was founded in 2004 by former engineers of ActiveState (acquired by Sophos), who created one of the first commercial spam filters.

The company's first product was an SMTP proxy that provides tar-pitting and transparent SMTP proxy functionality for inbound email filtering. At the 2007 MIT Spam Conference, the company's founder, Ken Simpson, was awarded the Best Paper award.

In 2007, MailChannels joined M³AAWG and closed a series A round led by early Microsoft employees.

In 2010, the company launched an outbound email filtering software that claims to be capable of filtering up to 30 million messages per hour, transparently in the network. Outbound email filtering involves scanning email traffic as it exits the network, identifying compromised accounts, and reducing the risk of having IP addresses blocked by receiving networks.

In 2013, the company launched a cloud-based outbound email filtering service.

In 2018, the company launched a cloud-based inbound email filtering service.

In 2022, the company decided to stop supporting Plesk for outbound email filtering.
