is anti spam working?

[#1]

ahh yes, so they have.
ta very mucho.

[#2]

Today I've received more spams than ever. I have received another 96 emails promoting Marketing and enhancing certain parts of the anatomy so far today.  That have not bean marked SPAM.

Gary, Are you on Postini?

[#4]

jelv are you bean paid by PlusNet or watt?   
[Edit]
Woops no I am Not on Postini. 

[#5]

Nope - I've thought for a long time Plusnet should outsource their email processing - I've suggested MessageLabs in the past. The results I'm seeing - and I'm checking my mail in fine detail - are every bit as good as I expected from a firm that specialises in email filtering.

No but he's got lots of shares in Postini

So you are happy to let a third party get hold of your information?

With the greatest respect Gary it's not like they are going to dump it all to a couple of CDs and stick it in the post.

If you are not happy with Postini handing your email you'd better move it all away from Plusnet ASAP. I don't know whether there will be an option to opt out of Postini, if there were to be one I've a hunch the implication will be that spam checking would not be available. DSPAM is absolutely pants compared to Postini and as far as I can see brings no additional benefits. It takes a lot of looking after (feeding training emails etc.) so I can't see why they'd want to continue with it.

jelv all email's are encrypted and you know it!

[#14]

The HMRC and more recently the DSA are security amateurs.
I would think that Postini are more professional.

Where on earth did you get that idea from? Email is plain text.
