Born in El Cerrito, Calif., Allman knew from an early age that he wanted to deal with computing later in life, hacking into his high school's mainframe and later using the Berkeley computing center[?] for his computing needs.
Sendmail soon became an important part of BSD, the Berkeley Software Distribution and continues to be the most widely used MTA on UNIX and Linux systems today, despite its somewhat complex configuration syntax and frequent abuse by Internet telemarketing firms.
In 1998, Allman founded Sendmail, Inc., headquartered in Emeryville, Calif., to do closed source work on improving sendmail.

 Salon 21st | You've got sendmail
Allman is the author of sendmail, a venerable program that shoulders one of the Internet's most crucial grunt-work burdens -- moving mail.
Certainly, Allman had no idea that his program might one day be singled out as a prime example of the "open-source" strategy of software development, nor did he imagine that he would be lauded as one of the pioneers of the free software movement.
But Allman's creation, and later distribution, of sendmail did fit in naturally with the glorious hacking tradition of the computer science department at Berkeley -- where mucking around with the innards of the Unix operating system was long considered, if not a God-given right, then at the very least a cherished responsibility.

 Email pioneer says breakthrough was too much trouble | The Register
Eric Allman, who founded email routing system Sendmail, tells this week's edition of technology law podcast OUT-LAW Radio that he would "never have agreed" to the project had he known how much work it was going to be.
Allman did not form a company around his technology until the late 1990s, and watched college contemporaries become millionaires and leading lights of Silicon Valley.
Allman said he could not have formed a company around Sendmail to rival the products of Silicon Valley in the 1980s such as Apple or Microsoft or Sun because email was not ubiquitous until much later.

 Port 25 : Sendmail on Sender-ID
Eric Allman (founder of Sendmail, inventor of Allman notation, original hacker) graciously took some time with me to discuss his take on Microsoft’s opening of the Sender-ID specification.
Eric was very complimentary of the move to the OSP, and believes that Sender-ID and DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail – see here for an overview) can and should coexist.
I hope that Allman chooses to one day redeem himself and require compliance with RFC2822 as a provision of his continued support.

talk.bizarre uttered a semi-incoherent rant observing that there seemed to be an awful lot of hackers named Eric around -- ``and have you noticed'' (he said) ``that they all have moustaches and they're all UNIX system manglers?''

When asked if you are really a initiate of a sinister conspiracy to dominate the net and/or world, silently leave the room, say ``No comment'', smile without speaking or otherwise contrive to leave the questioner nervous, confused, and just a little more paranoid than he/she was before.
At Eric Conspiracy meetings or while on Conspiracy business, address other initiates as `Bruce' (just to keep things clear).
