MPP Service Provider FAQ and Resource List

What makes MPP suited for service providers?
High spam filtering performance, open archives, per-domain configurations, customizable end-user interface, flexible pricing and open source integration. These are a few of the many reasons why service providers turn to MPP for their email filtering needs.

What makes MPP unique?
MPP gives you the benefits of an appliance with the flexibility that a software solution offers. Think of MPP as a software appliance.

I use AmavisD on an email gateway and it’s free, why use MPP intead?
MPP will perform far better than AmavisD in terms of raw throughput, resource utilization and spam filtering accuracy. Furthermore, MPP will save you countless hours that you are probably spending either tuning spam assassin or fielding complaints about poor spam filtering accuracy. Moreover, MPP enables new services like email archival, content filtering, attachment management and more so you will have the ability to launch new services with minimal development efforts.

What will I do with all the time I used to spend managing SpamAssassin after I deploy MPP?
Fishing, camping, exercise, play music, listen to music, see your kids or make new ones, talk to friends, play video games, surf the web. The options are truly limitless.

Why use MPP over an email filtering appliance?
MPP will perform as good or better than any similarly priced appliance but without the over priced hardware and closed operating environments that most appliances provide. If you want the control that open source offers you can still use Spam Assassin with MPP and still gain all of our scalability, management and feature benefits.

How do I deploy MPP?
The best place for MPP is on your email filtering gateway or directly on your sendmail, qmail, postfix, exim, suregemail or Sun JSMS email server. MPP is also available as a virtual appliance for use within VMWare.
