Suggestions for Hosted E-Mail

looks like they've made some changes:

Only problem with that is they have been having some issues of being blocked by spam filters.  IT was explained to me that they were not filtering their outbound email or something, and some blocks of Google IPs got grey/black listed.

Not sure if that's been resolved, or even spoken of, since I last heard.

Regardless of compliance, etc, I'd still support a move to Google for email.  Especially sine you get great spam protection by default.

what I find odd is that GMail seems to have better Spam filtering than Postini... makes no sense

Agreed!!!  I think it's got something to do with the rule hierarchy.  One thing is fore sure, I NEVER got spam in my Gmail Inbox until AFTER they acquired Postini.

It is amazing how accurate Gmail is with spam.   Don't think I've ever had one piece in my inbox last two years.   It's only trapped one good email in spam in all that time is well.

Crowd sourcing at its finest?

I don't think it has ever trapped a legit email for me, but I honestly never check.  If Google considers it spam, then I do too! lol

Cloudmark was at one time a good/cheap spam catcher for hosted pop mail.  Might check into it as well.  When I used it, it was a download that tied into Outlook as an add-on.
