The main point of MCP was to scan with totally different rules, for 
example to detect messages that are not spam but that infringe corporate 
policy on acceptable content, and that therefore need to be processed 
differently to spam (different archive settings, etc.).

However, the SpamAssassin Rule Actions setting now allows you to take 
different actions based on hitting particular rules, and is thus a far 
more efficient way of achieving the same effect. MCP is still there for 
those who want it, but is no longer a recommended solution.
