Tucows vs Postini

Thu Oct 29 22:38:22 UTC 2009

Depends on your operational needs and size.  For some people, nowadays you can 
go to a hosted email solution for the price of filtering.. and besides, any 
form of 'filtering' appliance or service comes at a price compared to 
solutions built into your mail servers..

It would be helpful if you provided the following:

Type of Email Server/Service you want to protect
Number of Email Boxes.
Any other custom wants/needs.

I never want to slag on anyones' service, but even if I did, I am sure you 
will get votes both ways.  Your decision might need to be based on other 
factors that you are not aware of at this time.  Cost is an obvious concern, 
but if say you are an ISP, and end up with more support calls with one company 
or the other.. it might outweigh the monthly cost differences.

You would get better results if people with the same size and environment 
commented....
