DMNews reports on ReturnPath's acquisition of competitor Habeas: "Under the terms of the agreement, Habeas will be absorbed into the Return Path brand and integrate its e-mail reputation management and deliverability services under the Return Path name. The companies began discussing the transaction in May."

Over here you'll find commentary on the acquisition from ReturnPath CEO Matt Blumberg. You may recall Ken Magill reporting that Habeas was for sale back in April, 2008.

And finally, Des Cahill, CEO of Habeas shares his thoughts, under the odd title of "More Cowbell."
