A big issue with outsourcing can be if the company in question goes out of business, in which case you often have a short time to make alternative arrangements. Since the company won't actually be hosting your e-mail, your risk is smaller, but still worth considering.

List, What do you think of using an outsourced Spam service like Postini? For our environment it is a choice of using Postini internally (via existing Trend IMSS) or sending all mail via Postini. What do people think of sending mail to another service? Personally I have concerns with SEC and HIPPA; I also worry about rising costs once we are with them, response times for emergency etc. Nathan _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
