Sendmail, Cloudmark to team on SPAM

The report, in the Wall Street Journal, says that Sendmail will now sell Cloudmark anti-spam filters and add ons to its large user base.

Cloudmark makes Spamnet software - we've looked at that product before here at the INQ.

What it does have - and what perhaps makes Sendmail interested in it, is a large database of spams built up through its first free, then subscriber only base.

Sendmail claims that it handles more than 50% of the world's email letters but much of the use is using its open source version which comes at no charge. µ
