Message Systems, IronPort, StrongMail and Port25 sign partnership agreements with Brandmail Solutions to bring the power of DKIM to customers and enable the SbS2.0 Secure Branding System
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 27, 2007 - Email is the most popular application on the Internet with over 50 percent growth in daily volume from 2006 to 2007. Phishing attacks that exploit a reputable brand to fraud the public and harm the consumer email relationship are on the rise. Brandmail Solutions, in partnership with the most important Email Application Solution vendors, is in a unique position to give control of the brand's email reputation back to the sending company.
The core of the Brandmail Solutions SbS2.0(TM) Secure Branding System rests on the ability to authenticate that an email has come from where it claims to have originated. Once an email is authenticated, the SbS2.0(TM) renders the sender's brand logo in the "From" field of the recipient's inbox.
To send a Branded Email, Brandmail Solutions sending partners must attach either a Domain Keys or a Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) signature to the emails they wish to brand. DKIM is the fastest growing email authentication standard. Co-developed by Yahoo!, Cisco and others, DKIM provides cryptographic proof of the origin of an email.
Juan Altmayer Pizzorno, CTO of Port25, says, "We are delighted to see DKIM being used in such a highly visible, useful way. Strong authentication is a cornerstone of restoring email trust, and we believe that our partnership with Brandmail Solutions will help bring that trust faster."
The Brandmail Solutions partner Email Application Solution vendors all provide a key piece of technology known as a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). Put simply, MTAs move email messages from one place to another. Without MTAs, email simply wouldn't flow - ticket verification emails would never arrive, newsletters simply couldn't be sent. The MTA is a critical part of the Secure Branding System because it handles all outbound email from a sender, putting it in the perfect position to affix the necessary DKIM authentication signature.
"For legitimate senders who are serious about protecting their brand and reputation, this partnership provides an easy pathway to implement DKIM authenticated mail on the Message Systems Delivery Manager MTA," said Barry Abel, Message Systems' vice president of Field Operations. "We're pleased to be involved in this important partnership and believe that thousands of business can benefit quickly from the combined solution."
Brandmail Solution's vice president of Channel Partnership Development, Emanuel Younanzade, concludes, "Partnership with these market leading Email Application Solution vendors makes the deployment of the Brandmail Solutions Secure Branding System a very simple proposition for senders. We're very pleased to have the support of such great partners."
