Postini Email Security Trial
Just seen a post on Usenet made by Bob on 10/03/08:
Quote The following additions to the Manage My Mail tool are currently in development (should go to QA testing next week at the earliest): Ability to switch off Blatant Spam Blocking Ability to whitelist/blacklist domains/email addys Ability to tweak the sensitivity of the spam tagging filter Ability to switch on Postini's quarantine service and have a daily quarantine report emailed to you Ability to move mail to the Spam folder without marking the subject line with [-SPAM-]
I think this level of control should keep everybody happy. What do people think?

The most significant item for me is the daily quarantine report.
What I would also have liked is a daily BSB report (with BSB left on). That way I get to know if emails have been rejected and can take steps to (a) whitelist and (b) get them re-sent. I suspect this is something Postini don't offer.

Quote from: ChrisL Either this or something else has led postini to give this the header "X-pstn-xfilter: y" -- ie. the mail is in breach of a global rule. Unlike Plusnet, Postini would have dumped this in quarantine -- I think they only let them past the BSB for analysis purposes(?).
So Postini is getting it right but Plusnet is making a mess of interpretation by failing to class this blatant Spam under its Spam 1 heading. Spam 2 to 5 look as though they will never be much use as quite a fair bit of legitimate email is also caught by these Plusnet spam classifications. Why does Plusnet think it can do a better job than Postini of deciding what are actually Spam emails?
