No Halt by U.S. Government to Sending WikiLeaks Documents by Email, According to SMTP, Inc.
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire) - SMTP, Inc., (www.smtp.com)
the largest independent provider of high-volume outbound email delivery
services for large permission-based marketing campaigns, today
announced that it has not been contacted by any U.S. government agency
to censor or stop the direct emailing of State Department cables by
WikiLeaks. As the primary means for sending data, email
is a highly likely channel for controlling the distribution of hundreds
of thousands of classified and secret U.S. State department documents
associated with the controversial WikiLeaks.
Because of SMTP's supplier role in sending millions of emails
on behalf of its customers, the company periodically receives notices
from government agencies to take a particular action for a specific
customer in which SMTP is obligated to comply by law.
"The proper process for us to comply with any government
request is to receive a legal document specifying a court ordered
action, such as a warrant," said Semyon Dukach, CEO of SMTP. "In the
case of WikiLeaks, no such notices have been received by SMTP, Inc."
