Came across and excellent link that gives the status of RBL sites.  Using RBL’s to fight spam is absolutely crucial, but using the right ones is even more important.  Personally, I only use zen.spamhaus.org, but there are many.  It is a major mistake to use spamcop for rejection criteria in my opinion.

We are pleased to announce a new case study that describes how MPP is deployed at a regiona service provider, Amtelecom. Amtelecom deployed MPP on their Qmail servers with our Cloudmark and Clamav plug-ins with great success. Read the case study.

Our Hungarian Distributor, Yellow Cube, has given an interview on Hungarian National Radio about MPP and spam related issues. Listen to the interview in Hungarian if you are inclined.

We have fixed a critical bug for CGP users on the Mac OS X Intel platform. The bug leads to crashes and these messages in the logs:

[19:25:52] 8 [07bdec00] [MsgLoadJob] Loaded message file size 1024b.
[19:25:52] 2 [07bdec00] [MsgLoadJob] Message file size 219874b. is
different!

If you have seen random crashes accompanied by these error messages please update to these binaries.

Download them, bunzip2 the package, then stop mppd and tar -xvf the package in /usr/local/MPP

In this blog we will post product, marekting and technical updates about <a href=’http://messagepartners.com’>MPP</a>.

Multimedia has finally come to life here at Message Partners, thanks to the dynamite team of Pete and Prakash. So with no further adieu I introduce you to the inaugural podcast of the blog where I am interviewed by Peter Schooff. In this gripping and insightful interview, I postulate on MPP’s position in the email security market, the future of MPP, and explain why MPP is different than all of the other email filtering products around.
