<p>David,</p>
<p>My contract with Google ended in November, prior to that I moved my services over to SpamHero. In fact with SpamHero I got a good rate, and became the reseller. The only bad part about being the "reseller" is that I now have to handle all tech support for the product. </p>
<p>Honestly it isn't that hard, but then again I don't have a ton of customers either. When I compare SpamHero and Postini I find I still have some messages that slip through, but there is a handy e-mail address I can forward them to, so the filters help get trained better. I have found the same amount of missed spam with both services. With SpamHero I actually have someone I can contact if things have gone horribly wrong. </p>
<p>I know you had a reseller so your experience will be different than mine was, but I had no way to get a hold of Google to request help, or report bugs or feature suggestions. SpamHero on the other hand has a ticketing system for submitting bugs and issues. They have a community driven feature suggestion thingy. I can go read what others have requested and either add my voice to that or say I think it is a bad idea. </p>
<p>There are other services out there as well, I looked at a number of them last summer. I would need to find my notes on them to give a run down of what I found on the other ones I did not go with. </p>

<pre>Greetings all,
I've been offering Postini mail filtering service to many of my domain
hosting customers for several years now. As you might know, Google bought
Postini a few years back, and this year they are shutting down the Postini
service and migrating customers to Google Apps.
My Postini service was obtained through a reseller, not through direct
contracts with Postini, as this was the best option for the number of
hosted accounts I have. This reseller is now offering to migrate their
customers (including myself) to McAfee email security services, similar to
what Postini was providing.
I am taking this transition as an opportunity to consider other email
filtering options. I do like the "mail filtering as a service" model
compared to running my own mail filtering appliance, and am not really
interested in adding spam & AV filtering duties to my BX server. I'd
rather offload that task.
Do any of you have any suggestions of mail filtering services to look at,
or other alternatives I might not have considered? Have any of you gone
through the same transition away from Postini, and if so, how has the
replacement service been in comparison?
Thanks in advance,
David Thacker
