Google is shutting down Postini spam filtering. The business has about 26 million users and companys that use the service will have to migrate to another solution. Although Google are trying to make the transition seamless by encouraging customer to move to Google Apps for e-mail security, it is inevitable that existing Postini customers will have to make some big changes and source a Postini alternative.
Google Apps doesn’t appeal to all business customers for several well published reasons including privacy, the alternative for Postini customers is to migrate to an alternative vendor that can meet all their requirements and ideally offer them more for less. Postini customers who prefer not to transfer to Google Apps or choose an alternative solution will see their Postini service terminated, leaving their inboxes open to spam, phishing attacks and other email security threats.
As Bert Markgraf pointed out in his ‘Midsize Insider’ blog ‘generally companies don't like changes in critical systems like email. This is especially true for smaller companies that have their resources stretched already. Changing an MX record is trivial but it represents a cost and, if someone puts a dot where it shouldn't be or forgets one, the email system crashes’.
