OnlyMyEmail adds staff in downtown Ypsilanti

The people behind the OnlyMyEmail didn't start their company as the first step of building an empire. They want to solve a problem – email spam.
Necessity, the mother of invention, forced the three co-founders to come up with a better mousetrap for spam email. Today the company of less than 20 people (it recently hired one more person) in downtown Ypsilanti is positioning itself to keep up with the numerous forms of email spam and so it could potentially be acquired by a future partner corporation.
"We don't really have anything else that we need to innovate or do beside keep ahead of the daily onslaught of spam," says Stephen Canale, co-founder of
OnlyMyEmail
.
The company's software has 31 separate layers of protection for every form of spam, such as
zombie
,
malware
and corporate marketing. Of those numerous layers, six of them are there to make sure the important messages people want to read make it through all of that protection.
OnlyMyEmail is rolling out an archive system. It has also grown to the point where the company runs the email systems for its customers that just don't want to put up with the headache of managing all of those messages.
"There is no magic bullet," Canale says. "It's a very complicated problem."
