Details of the transaction were not released.
MailCreations' E-Mail Marketing Network database contains 100 million opt-in e-mail addresses. The company also provides e-mail appending services and purchased search engine marketing firm seekOver.com in March. CEO Jose Vargas will stay on to run the company for Livedoor.
