The Benefits of Clustering
by Alec Peterson,
Director of Product Development,
Message Systems
An email solution that runs in a clustered configuration has several advantages over a traditional environment. Overall, clustering makes server configuration and management easier and less costly, while ensuring all servers are configured the same simultaneously. It also provides automatic failover to ensure delivery continuity as well as an easy way to retrieve data from servers for timely reporting and analysis.

Message Systems and Commtouch Partner to Combat Spam and Viruses for ISPs
Continuing with our practice of providing ISPs with the most effective multi-tiered threat protection and reputation management solutions, we are now incorporating the Commtouch real-time Anti-Spam Engine, Zero-Hour™ Virus Outbreak Protection Solutions and IP Reputation Service into the Message Systems MTA.
“Our partnership with Commtouch allows us to offer our carrier customers the best possible protection against the ever-evolving and escalating malware threat,” said Barry Abel, Message Systems’ vice president of field operations. “By running Commtouch anti-threat solutions natively on the Message Systems email solution, we are presenting ISPs with a comprehensive turnkey carrier solution capable of handling massive amounts of email per second, while stopping all types of spam and viruses at the perimeter in real-time, before they can penetrate the network.”
Commtouch’s (commtouch.com) content-agnostic solutions protect mailboxes from viruses and spam the moment an outbreak occurs, and are successful at defending against fresh threats, such as animated image-based spam, or new strains of viruses. The company’s patented Recurrent Pattern Detection™ (RPD™) technology is at the heart of its real-time spam blocking, Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Protection and IP Reputation Service solutions. Recognized by independent research groups and industry analysts as a ground-breaking messaging security strategy, RPD technology enables the Commtouch Detection Center to proactively probe the Internet and analyze the distribution patterns of billions of messages each month to identify new malware outbreaks as soon as they are introduced into the Internet.
 The Commtouch solutions provide three security tiers to ISPs: Traffic Flow Control at the edge, Aggressive Filtering at the center and Backend System Connectivity for innermost layer protection. More details can be found at commtouch.com.
