MPP for CommuniGate Pro

MPP is an essential tool in keeping Communigate Pro users free from the alarming
rise of spam, image spam, viruses, and phishing. MPP provides many advantages over
standard CGP plug-ins for the high-accuracy high-capacity needs of service providers.
These include:

• Greater scalability
• Less bandwidth required
• The ability to control virus and spam settings from a single easy-to-use
  GUI
• Cut costs by allowing end-users and domain admins to manage their own spam settings and
  quarantines
• The crucial capacity to adapt and defend against the growing criminalization
  of spam
• Complete round-the-clock support from MPP’s highly capable team of global support engineers

MPP utilizes a powerful policy engine that allows you to assign different service configurations and scanners to different groups of users without wasting your valuable time decoding CGP’s arcane rules. Also, policy membership is stored in your LDAP subscriber directory which enables the quick and easy provisioning of new services.

Our Webmin module provides comprehensive management including centralized spam and virus quarantine management, log monitoring, configuration
of all options and much more.

MPP and Open Source

The open source community provides many great component technologies like email servers, databases, directories, spam scanners, virus scanners and more. MPP takes all these different components and integrates them into a comprehensive email security and compliance solution.

MPP is easier to use, faster, and better supported than open source integration tools like AmavisD, MailScanner, Exiscan or QmailScanner. MPP will dramatically increase system performence, save valuable admin time, and our policy engine will allow you to realize the full potential of email.

One of the key issues with open source security is their total reliance on the effectiveness of SpamAssassin and ClamAV. Today’s email attacks often use the most unexpected tactics, and often require the most innovative methods to stop them, which is why we created MPP to be entirely scanner independent.

With MPP you can layer scanners, you can incorporate both commercial and open source technologies, and essentially allows you to use whichever tool works best to keep email up and running. And since MPP allows you to apply scanners, along with our many other configurations, on a per-group or per-policy basis, you can selectively customize performence for just a few domains or for the entire server.
