VERY bad news for those of us who use POSTINI -- it is going away
By Andrew Pollack on 08/21/2012 at 09:37 PM EDTGoogle will soon be turning off its popular spam filtering and e-mail archiving product, Postini. It will shift Postini users to Google Apps.
I use Postini, and have for years. This is going to be a real pain the butt for me.

I think you're misinterpreting what is happening. From the email they sent me,
it looks like you can still use your domino server etc. but the filtering will
be done by their Google Apps back end not the Postini back end. My incomming
mail, will still go to Google before it hits my servers.
If it works as well as postini has, I won't care.

I don't read it that way at all. To be honest, I'm also long-term tired of
the nonexistent support and bad UI. I've tolerated it because it works, but I
can't say I'm terribly stuck on it.

Spam hero looks good. The negative for me is that you need to register new
email addresses after the first 30 days. I am not sure what this adds for
domino users and it is an extra thing to do for each new mailbox.

Personally, I'm a big fan of McAfee SaaS solution. Similar to Postini. All
the features, similar cost. it started as Gateway Defender, then MXLogic, then
purchased by McAfee.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

Sigh.
