# MMP
Message Posting Protocol (MPP) is used by
[Mail.ru Agent](http://agent.mail.ru/), a popular instant messaging program
used mainly in Russia. Besides basic IM functionality (presence, contact list,
sending text messages, file transfers, message history, etc) M-Agent also
provides online gaming, peer-to-peer voice calls, video calls, low-rate VoIP
calls, free SMS, automatic mail checking and other useful features. Mail.ru
Agent communicates with its server using proprietary (but documented) protocol
called MPP that works over TCP/IP. Mail.ru Agent uses portal e-mail address as
unique user ID.
