MPP Delivers New Antispam Options for Mac OS X Email Servers

May 13, 2008 New Rochelle, NY – Message Partners is pleased to announce new advanced antispam protection for Xserve email and collaboration servers. With this release, our flagship product, MPP, provides Mac OS X email and collaboration servers the highest level of antispam protection available. The combination of MPP’s new antispam technology and our new single-click installation offers the most complete email protection available for the ever-growing Xserve server market.

“We are very happy with the decrease in spam we have seen,” says Jayaprakash Kannoth, of ebizQ, a customer of MPP. “The Mac community has given us a wonderful reception with this release and we are very excited about the opportunities that it presents,” continues Michael Katz of Message Partners.

In addition to industry leading antispam protection, MPP offers important compliance features such as content filtering, email archival, surveillance, content based email routing and attachment storage along with a host of utility features such as restricted email, email size controls, mail bomb protection, multi-lingual signatures and more.

MPP features web based management of configuration, spam quarantines and email archives that gives any Xserve email server the full capabilities of an email filtering appliance from a two minute installation. MPP is compatible with Postfix, the email server built into Xserve, Zimbra and CommuniGate Pro.

I want to let you know that we have just released MPP with new antispam technology never before seen on Xserve or any Mac OS X platform.

It sure feels like we are on a roll with our improvements for Xserve system administrators, so why should we stop? After listening to complaint after complaint about the difficulty of installing MPP we finally took the advice of Frank Zappa, though applied to software – ’shut up and play yer guitar’. Instead of explaining why our customers were just not getting it we shut up and listened and have created something that has exceeded our expectations.

Phase 1 was to redesign our admin GUI to make things more apparent, remove cryptic techno speak and drop the assumption that everyone has enough time to figure our product out. This is an ongoing battle, but we have conquered the initial campaign and now we are in clean-up mode.

Phase 2 was to redo our installers so that it was no longer necessary to have a compiler installed or to install any perl modules. This was a monster task believe it or not, but this is conquered thanks to Ovidiu, our technical guru. This was great, but it still required an admin to use the terminal to run our configure scripts.

Phase 3 which we have now delivered has expanded on phase 2 by removing the need to run our configure script from the command line. Since our Xserve customers are either using Postfix, Zimbra or CommuniGate we detect which email server is in use and make all of the appropriate configurations automatically. Yes, MPP provides email archival and large scale email filtering with Zimbra. The installer is one click and it installs MPP, MPP Manager and all dependencies, configures our email server to use MPP and launches Safari at the end with MPP Manager opened up. Pretty slick if you ask me. You still need to disable the Apple junk mail filtering from the admin control panel, but this may change in the future as well.

Phase 4 has some surprises and I am hoping to announce them soon.
