Built for Platforms with Many Downstream Senders
Tenant and Agent Isolation
Each sender — customer, workspace, or AI agent — gets its own identity, policies, rate limits, and suspension path. One bad actor can’t cause a platform-wide outage.
Abuse Operations, Managed
We’ve spent over a decade running the hardest version of this problem: outbound abuse for web hosts. That detection and response layer is built into the API.
Per-Sender Reputation Tracking
We track reputation at the individual sender level — not just at the account or IP — because that’s how mailbox providers increasingly evaluate mail.
Safe Suspension Paths
Webhook-driven enforcement lets you rate-limit, pause, or cut off a single bad sender automatically — without disrupting legitimate traffic.
Your ESP Account Is the Single Point of Failure
Per-Tenant Visibility
See volume, complaints, bounces, and behavior for every downstream sender — not just an aggregate account view.
Real-Time Abuse Signals
Get notified the moment a sender’s behavior turns risky, so you can act before receivers do.
Policy You Control
Set rate limits, content rules, and enforcement thresholds per tenant, plan tier, or agent class — and let the API enforce them automatically.
MailChannels protects more domains
from email abuse than any other provider
The Controls Platform Operators Actually Need
Sub-Account Architecture
Provision a distinct sender identity for every tenant, workspace, or agent with one API call. Reputation, limits, and policy are scoped to that identity.
Bounce and Complaint Webhooks
Get structured feedback for every delivery event — including FBL complaints — so your platform can route, retry, suspend, or escalate without polling.
Inline Threat Filtering
Outbound messages are scanned for phishing, malware, and known abuse patterns before they leave the network — protecting your sending reputation in real time.
Approval Hooks for Agents
Insert a human or programmatic checkpoint into the send path — useful for AI agents where you want oversight before high-risk messages go out.
SMTP and REST Endpoints
Use the REST API for clean integration or the SMTP relay for legacy code and BYO-mail-server scenarios. Same controls, same isolation, either path.
Per-Sender Logs and Audit Trails
Full message-level history scoped to each tenant or agent — for support, compliance, and incident review.
