I have a few customers on postini that have always had it. I experienced just the other day a pretty big problem, I had a client moving from dual t1's to a 10mb fiber, we planned to migrate them this weekend and their pri's went down so we just accelerated and moved them on the fly. They changed their DNS and MX records and everything, 10 hours later, the only site that was still looking at their OLD mx record WAS postini. When doing traceroutes to mail.mycompany.com it kept trying to old IP, I thought all was well so we never checked it , until their IT admin called to tell me that. putting the IP in manually worked and we were all set but cmon.
Also, none of their reports seem to work, could be I dont know how to use them, but when I went in and clicked on some reports they were always just 0. I dont use postini's interface but 3 times in my life so I just kinda went 'hmm' and moved on. -----Original Message----- From: Juma, Lumumba [mailto:lcj...@icipe.org] Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 5:00 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Virus/Spam Filtering & SmartHosting Service providers Some time back, I filled the online form hoping some sales rep will get in touch . Have done that again but no feedback yet. Anybody who has a contact I can use to initiate this? We have a local google office but surprisingly, cant find their contacts anywhere.

Contact sales to find out if your non-profit is eligible." As an educational institution, we're paying $1.28 per user per month for filtering and 10-year archiving. There was a one-time $900 setup fee as well.

We had it a few years ago, before it was taken over by Google, and had multiple issues that would not go away. We dropped them and went to another provider, which turned out to be even worse. Went back to Postini a few months back and it's been a lot better (so far) than our previous experience with them.

I bought it for archiving; the filtering was just a fringe benefit. But both seem to be working really well, and we've never experienced any problems with the service (we've been using it for around seven months).

They also provide enhanced services with mailbagging and archiving. http://www.google.com/postini/compare.html Die dulci fruere!
