That's neat. But it's also the first I've heard of it. Do they promote it outside of the business world? I get the impression that they don't think of it as something a CS department or non-profit would use.


Have you looked for it? It's pretty tied in with their Google Apps offering which is where I've seen it, despite not being in the market for it.

It's no surprise that they concentrate on marketing their business software to businesses though. That's who's going to pay for it. A CS department is going to use whatever the school uses and a non-profit is better served by Google Apps (which is discounted heavily for non-profits).


Postini is widely used. I wish Apple would slap it onto me.com. My Apple email is a spamfest.


If a CS department is using it, they'd have it available through the university wide licence.

Also, 80beans is using it and they only have a team of 6.


Regulated companies use Postini commonly for compliance reasons. Lots of big financial firms are customers.


I know of several non-profits using Postini as their anti-spam solution.


ACM uses Postini.
