Hi. We've been using Postini for about 3 months and have been quite pleased. There is not much tweaking to do, and those customers of ours who have opted in for the service (about 500 out of 1500 total) have appreciated it.
Regarding downtime, the only time in my experience that we had problems was during an AT&T routing issue which caused a lot of availability issues around the Internet. During one of Postini's announced maintenance procedures, we hovered near the DNS server getting ready to change our MX records to point directly to our mail server in case mail stopped coming in, but it turned out to be unnecessary. I think the Postini customer interface went down, but mail kept coming through (albeit perhaps unfiltered). Postini does have the added advantage that if YOU go down, they will spool your mail for you until you come back up (I think that is the active EMS option -- an added charge). That's helped us at least once when the local CLEC had fiber problems and we lost connectivity to the Internet for 1-2 hours.
