May Dad wrote me to say that he got a message from his ISP: “PRIMUS Canada is proud to announce FREE enhancements to your Internet service. At no extra cost, we have enabled Postini Anti-Spam and Virus Protection services for your Internet Account.” So I checked out the Postini web site to see what the stuff was.
Here’s an excerpt from Postini’s Customer Testimonials page [Bold type is mine for emphasis]:
“We evaluated all of the products and services that we thought would meet our needs and chose Perimeter Manager for its combination of very low overhead operation and customizability. Since we turned it on, our users have been very satisfied and are able to focus on growing our business rather than sorting through their email in-boxes.”
Mike Tolbert, CIO
Hormel Foods
“Spam was becoming a concern for some of our associates, consuming network resources and impacting the productivity of our employees. The Postini service has been easy to deploy and has required virtually no administration time on our part. We have been pleased with the performance of the service and its overall accuracy, with few false positives turning up during the process. Our employees have experienced a noticeable improvement in their email in-boxes.”
Dennis Bowman, Chief Information Officer
Circuit City
Yes, the quote actually belongs to Dennis Bowman, but juxtaposition is everything in life!
