25 Years of Sendmail History
Many companies claim to be the market leaders,
but only Sendmail can say, “We created the market.”
That was over twenty-five years
ago. With the advent of the sendmail Open Source Mail
Transfer Agent (MTA), Internet mail and a new era of
global messaging were made possible.
Created by Sendmail founder and Chief Science Officer, Eric Allman, the sendmail Open Source MTA is the most widely used email technology on the Internet. Today its Open Source and commercial versions are found on over 35 percent of all Internet servers, and deliver over 65 percent of the email messages sent worldwide.
Allman recognized the growing challenges of
security and manageability in a connected world in
1998, when he founded today's Sendmail to expand on this Open Source
foundation with the goal to solve
the Internet's most pressing challenge—trusted
email communications.
