BERLIN and HEIDELBERG, Germany, June 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- More Than 30,000 Businesses Worldwide use Solutions Provided by the Berlin-based Email Security Specialist Eleven

On the eve of the 13th General Meeting of the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG) in Heidelberg, Germany, the Berlin-based email security specialist eleven has announced the continuation of its growth trend: there are currently more than 30,000 businesses worldwide that use eleven solutions - such as eXpurgate, the spam filter and email categorisation service. Figures in May 2008 showed that the number of users had doubled compared to the previous year's figures. On average, eleven checks and categorises 1 billion emails every day.

The company was founded in 2001 and is now one of the world's top three providers of anti-spam and integrated e-mail security solutions. Alongside many well-known businesses like BMW, Air Berlin, RTL and Datey, renowned educational establishments like the Free University of Berlin and countless medium-sized businesses, many leading internet service providers like T-Online, Vodafone and O2 have also opted for "email security made in Germany".

Robert Rothe, eleven's founder and managing director, has a simple explanation for this positive trend - eleven's unique eXpurgate technology: "Nowadays, anti-spam solutions have to meet three primary requirements: to protect businesses against the exponential growth of spam levels and the ingenious tricks developed by spammers, to prevent false positives and to safeguard business-related email communication at all times. eXpurgate technology, which searches emails for the one criterion common to all spam mails - the fact that they are mass mailings - meets all three requirements," says Rothe.
