I'm having similar issues with Postini. I suppose i should upgrade filtering organization wide to Aggressive.
It's been ok for the past year, but within the past month i've seen a lot come through, not many FP's to report though. It's SPAM, nothing is 100% full-proof and Postini is one less service i have to manage/monitor/backup which means i have more time and resources at hand to focus on items that require as much. Although i would be interested to see if MXLogic is cheaper these days than Positini. Harry.
