Postini Attacks Spim
I hate Spam. Fortunately, one of our companies – Postini – does a remarkable job of eliminating it (turn on Postini, magic happens, Spam disappears.) Recently, I’ve been under attack from other Spam variants, including trackback/comment Spam and IM Spam (SPIM). Today, Postini announced a partnership with IMlogic to collaborate on a Spim blocking service. Dudes – IM there.
Our IT guys installed Postini a month ago and it really works. It catches almost everything and, importantly, doesn’t block much useful email. It could have an easier tool for targeting the spam that does get through so those senders could be placed onto a “block” list, but that is my only minor request. The product really is effective. Anyone looking for a SPAM filter would do well to try this one.
