MailChannels Corporation is an anti-spam technology company founded in 2004 and based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The firm was created by some former employees of ActiveState to develop new techniques for fighting spam. The company's first product, "Traffic Control," is a software-based SMTP proxy that provides tar-pitting and transparent SMTP proxy functionality. At the 2007 MIT Spam Conference, the company's founder, Ken Simpson, was awarded the "best paper" award.

In September 2010, the company launched an outbound spam protection product called "MailChannels Outbound" that claims to be capable of filtering up to 30 millions messages per hour, transparently, within a network.
