About
RSS
Steve Atkins is a founding partner of the anti-spam consultancy and software firm Word to the Wise. I develop high-performance ticketing software for ISP abuse desks and ESP feedback loop handling. I also work with MAAWG and the IETF to develop the next generation of email protocols, and help email senders to understand and deploy them. I also provide technical and forensic assistance to lawyers and law enforcement in email and other internet related cases. Prior to founding Word to the Wise, Steve was a system architect for UltraDNS, a distributed DNS service serving a number of top level domains and large companies and prior to that a microprocessor designer.
