Google just announced that they are going to buy Postini, a spam and virus-filtering company for over $600 million USD.
Delaware.Net uses/offers Postini services as a reseller, and the price is right – $1 per user. Postini catches almost all spam and viruses before they reach your inbox. This saves hosting companies time and money and allows users to gain access to the control panel that is doing the filtering, so that you can see the spam that is sitting in the quarantine on Postini’s servers.
It will be interesting to see if privacy advocates get up in arms about this or not. Postini routes the email of 5,000,000 users.
