History[]
The company was founded in 1998 by Eric Allman, creator of the sendmail open source mail transfer agent.
Managing Email[]
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.[1]
Hybrid Cloud[]
In 2012, Sendmail partnered with Mimecast[2] to provide hybrid-cloud email security, archiving and continuity as some predicted that 2013 would see more organizations implementing hybrid cloud computing strategies[3] to reduce cost and complexity of their messaging infrastructure.
Machine-Generated Email[]
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[4] and migration of email to the cloud.[5]
Acquired by Proofpoint[]
In 2013, Sendmail was acquired by security-as-a-service company Proofpoint, Inc.[6]
