We love it!
1: Two ways. Enter each addy by hand. Or there's an autocreate in which a
user just has to get 3 emails in 24 hours and the account is automatically
set up. We usually set up our hosted customers this way as it saves
everyone time. They just create a new email account then send it a few test
messages and poof, postini is up and running.
2: VERY low personel overhead. And it's always as current as anyone's gonna
get. It's a "professional" third patry contractor for us, makes it easier
to upsell. Also very few false positives.
3: GUI isn't at all intuitive when setting up new domains etc. Has spurts
of heavy misses.
4: Optional service. We charge $1 per email account for spam/virus
filtering. Just over 100% margin for this service.
5: I'll bet we've had less than 5 people decide it wasn't worth it. Ever.
We have hundreds of email accounts using it now.
The best part is that *I* don't need local tallent or contractors to admin
yet another box or another service on an existing box. It's also stopping
traffic BEFORE it gets to my network. We have lower bw needs due to
postini. I've had customers trim 10 to 15 GIGS per month just by adding
postini. The amount of html content is shocking in all of that spam crap.
