I was wondering if anyone could ask a question on Postini, or MessageLabs. I've been previously informed that you have to license "all or none". Meaning, if I have 1300 users, they get payment for 1300 seats. You can't selectively choose what users run through the service. This is correct? ________________________________ From: Jose Medeiros [mailto:josemedeiros@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 2:34 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Spam and A/V appliances. http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have to agree with Doug, Postini works great and is more cost effective in a small to midsize environment.

If you don't have many users then something like postini maybe the way to go (we actually use it where I work now...about 100 users), but at my previous position it made much more sense to buy a $3000 barracuda for 6000 users than $4 x 12months x 6000 users. The $3000 model that we had processes between 90,000 and 120,000 messages a day with no problems. Even the threshold set to the default of 3 out of 10, and Bayesian filtering not even used, 78% of our messages dropped before hitting the exchange server. Talk about a cheap way to cut load and increase life on a mail server. But again, that would have been a little expensive for 100 users ________________________________ I would almost bet the barracuda will cost you less in time AND labor than others. And it works great!!!
