Re: Spam Solution

We've used Postini for some time and are just moving over to IronPort. The compelling reasons are really fourfold. 
We're an SMB with under 600 mailboxes.

1) Postini costs more over time for us.

2) Postini does not (or we don't set it up that way) allow individual users to unquarantine spam mail or give them any 
stats or "learn" that something should be trusted. The IronPort will learn this over time based on user input.

3) We also used a third party mail "encryption" product (encryption meaning it's really not smtp more than a web server 
to retrieve email.../rant), but the IronPort also saves us money in the long run by doing this function in the same box.

4) It is under our sphere of control. In the past, we're like many in not being able to be as accurate and efficient 
with mail control as a third party service. But it is about time to revisit this since a product like IronPort does 
most of the heavy-lifting just like a third-party, only within our walls. Basically comes down to progress in this 
space.
