Hi, We're considering Postini as a turnkey ASP-based anti-virus/spam solution. Brief research shows many ISP's are now using it and they are getting good write-ups.
Looking for technical feedback pro/con from anyone that has considered or is using them. We are considering them for financial reasons - rough estimates on our end are that we could eliminate the intensive ongoing efforts of tuning rules and filters and the need for constantly trying to stay one step ahead of the spammers while providing our clients with a tool that is server based (independent of their choice of mail client software) and empowers them to adjust their settings while giving them also a web-based tool for reviewing hold/blocked messages. We currently charge a small per mailbox fee for virus-protection/spam blocking so the ASP model is workable, but if things continue as they are, freeing up almost a full-time person between rules managment and tech support would more than pay for itself -- at least that is our financial analysis. Therefore, primarily looking for feedback on how effective their blocking is at keeping spam out and minimizing false positives, and most importantly, how well do they keep up with the escalating "spy versus spy" spam technology battles. For the record, we are currently using declude add-on to Imail along with other internally built tools and procedures which is rapidly becoming very unwieldly. It's been great, but we are starting to outgrow the ability to manage it cost-effectively.
