We’ve been getting a few questions about MPP Community edition so I thought I would give you a brief update on the product. First of all, it is alive here and you can download here. It was unintentionally orphaned during the move of the web site to our new platform.

More importantly though, I want to explain what MPP Community is. MPP Community (aka MPP Free Edition) was released to build the MPP user base and name recognition. It represented the first version of our product but was scaled down to only support free content scanners – clamav and spamassassin. It is easier to use than some of the open source apps that do something similar, like amavisd, but it is more streamlined in functionality.

In reality, MPP Community has turned out to be a mixed blessing. We do have many people using it, but few are interested in becoming paying customers. Furthermore, MPP Community is soooooo much less interesting and powerful than MPP that people get the wrong idea about MPP itself. There is virtually no resemblance between MPP Community and our commercial product from the perspective of the GUI, functionality and more.

So for now we will keep MPP Community going with no changes and we will see what the future holds.

Thank you for your continued support.
