That's complete bunk. I have complete control over where mail entering and leaving my networks is delivered, as well as having full logs of those transactions.
Any system sending mail to inovis.com will route to one of 4 boxes under our control - I control the publication of the MX records that point to the 4 boxes which we control. By putting Postini (or any mail outsourcer) into that flow, I have to publish MX records pointing to boxes outside my control. My systems have control of the mail until its handed off to the systems that the receivers have designated as responsible for their mail. In this schenario, I have as much control over email traffic as possible. Putting an ASP SPAM service in the middle creates a situation in which you don't have control over your own mail delivery, and that's not something which my company is willing to give up.
