Message Partners is pleased to announce unbeatable anti-spam measures for open source email servers with a new, dual-layer protection architecture that combines technology from two of the world's leading anti-spam providers: Commtouch and Cloudmark. Using MPP, our innovative email security solution, this powerful anti-spam combination can easily be applied to the most popular open-source servers such as Postfix, Exim or Sendmail.

ebizQ received the following details:

With spam now totaling 9 out of every 10 email message sent, and with much of that image spam, which requires considerably more bandwidth than text-based spam, it is more important than ever to control spam.

"There is no more effective anti-spam solution for Postfix than our double-layer architecture," says Michael Katz, President of Message Partners. "Our solution can scale to many hundreds of messages per-second and provide accuracy above 98%," continues Katz. Peter Schooff, Director of Marketing for Message Partners, adds, "Anyone who operates a large Postfix based mail relay must consider MPP as spam will only become a bigger problem unless they take direct action."

To make this decision even easier, for the month of May Message Partners is offering a 15% percent discount on any new commercial antispam plug-in sale, and an additional 5% when two antispam plug-ins are purchased simultaneously, This offer is good for new plug-in sales only and is not available in all countries, so please consult your local MPP partner for eligibility.

MPP is an innovative email security application that enables service providers to build blended email service offerings that leverage the best of commercial and open source security technologies. Service providers that utilize MPP rather than custom developed or pure open source solutions for their email filtering services increase performance and customer satisfaction and reduce costs and time to market for new services. MPP enables service providers to build carrier class service offerings using best-in-class technologies like Commtouch anti-spam, popular open source email servers such as Postfix, QMail and Sendmail, and open operating systems like Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.

Commtouch Software Ltd. (NASDAQ: CTCH) is dedicated to protecting and preserving the integrity of the world's most important communications tool -- e-mail. Commtouch has over 16 years of experience developing messaging software and is a global developer and provider of proprietary anti-spam, Zero-Hour virus protection and IP reputation solutions. Using core technologies including RPD (Recurrent Pattern Detection™), the Commtouch Detection Center analyzes billions of email messages per week to identify new spam and malware outbreaks within minutes of their introduction into the Internet.

MPP makes use of Cloudmark Authority, that employs networked collective intelligence, a combination of intelligent message fingerprinting, corroborated global feedback and automated data analysis to deliver unmatched accuracy and the fastest response to new threats. System-wide checks and balances virtually eliminate false positives and maintain the integrity of the network. Cloudmark uniquely uses intelligent fingerprints to track threats as they move across the Cloudmark system and to detect spam, phishing and virus mutations before they propagate. As each message comes in, Cloudmark uses these algorithms to generate a unique set of identifiers (fingerprints), which precisely identifies both threats and legitimate messages.
