Are You Sick of Spam?

By Chip Hayden, MCP, Director of Information Technology Services

One of the most frequent complaints we hear from clients about their Information Technology Systems is that e-mail management is labor-intensive and frustrating due primarily to the proliferation of Spam. If your e-mail systems have been a source of concern and frustration at your business, we have good news: there is an anti-spam solution that is the clear leader in integrated message management systems. The product is called Postini, and SN Business Solutions can implement this leading solution in your business in a very short period of time. You will immediately begin to see the positive results.

The outstanding benefits that the Postini service provides include:

• Reduction in Spam support and management in your business.
• E-mail is filtered through Postini’s managed e-mail security service which is located between the Internet and your company’s e-mail gateway. Therefore, Postini blocks unwanted e-mail before it hits your corporate mail server, significantly lightening the load on your server, IT staff and end-users.
• Postini is rated very high in anti-spam effectiveness with the best overall balance of accuracy at 97% and false positives at .08%.
• Postini offers strong anti-virus defense and has blocked billions of viruses through its servers in the past few years.
• Decrease in e-mail server storage since spam is filtered at the Postini servers and not on your corporate e-mail server.

Clients Find Postini Banishes Spam

By Chris Coulson, MCSE, MCP, Network Consultant

Kudos keep coming our way from clients who have experienced the relief from Spam that their new Postini Service delivers, and we have documented proof. Here's a very enthusiastic one:

"The filtering is very effective! I have locked down our exchange server to only accept connections from Postini's servers and we now get very little Spam (still see one or two once in a while). Also, I have not had to deliver any messages yet in my quarantine folder! The other noticeable improvement is the amount of traffic we have removed from the gateway! If you get the chance to see our Postini filtering reports you will see what I mean!"

If each of your company employees spends an average of 15 minutes per day clearning spam from his or her email box, how much time and money does that add up to each year? Add to that the savings resulting from NOT having to add bigger hard drives or more Internet bandwidth, and you will understand why our clients are so satisfied with their decision to use Postini.

This indicates the value of the Postini Anti-Spam solution. Significantly less e-mail traffic, lower disk storage needs, less user action and anti-virus support as well. Time saved equals lower costs.

If your e-mail systems have been a source of concern and frustration at your business, we have good news: SN Business Solutions can implement this leading solution in your business in a very short period of time. You, too, will immediately begin to see the positive results.
