Benefits of Using Postini
Off Server Email Filter
Users email is processed through Postini servers before it is forwarded onto your email on our servers. The advantages of off-server filtering include:
- Protects your (our) mail server from the large amount of incoming email, reducing the load on our servers. You get better performance and peace of mind.
- Filters out viruses before they reach your inbox and downloads to your PC.
- Postini updates their rules directly from McAfee and/or other sources every 15 minutes. this means that your vulnerability is reduced to 15 minutes.
- Blatant spam is blackholed, so you never see it. All other suspected spam is filtered into your quarantined folder at Postini for you to view and process as needed.

How it Works!
-
Each Postini Account (User) has one primary email account (you@yourdomain.com).
-
The User has access to their Postini Control Panel to set rules and manage their spam filtering rules.
-
Each 'user' can set up to 5 alternate email addresses on this domain (called aliases) to sort through their filter.
-
We can set up a default 'catchall' email address (user) for your domain (recommended). All email to the domain that is not already set up as a user or alias in Postini, will filter through this user. Once the email passes through Postini, it is sent to the appropriate email box on our servers. This allows one person to administer the spam and filtering rules, add white/black list and forward or delete quarantined email for the domain.
-
Additional Users can be added (via the form below) as an add-on option.
-
Postini User can manage their quarantined email, change the level of filtering rules, and add / remove whitelist and blacklists.
