Ok, i'm confused.

When we were with our parent company (Leggett & Platt) we had Exchange 2007 on our side and utilised Google's Postini service as our spam/virus filter on email traffic and it was fantastic, truly great system.

There was a management buyout of our company and now we're looking at getting Postini ourselves for our email spam/virus filtering service. However, it appears (i was told by "Chris" at Google) that they no longer offer such a standalone service, you need to be using Google Apps for Business now...

Is there a chance i got a complete numpty? Or is this the case?

What i wanted (and what Postini website seems to suggest!) is this:

• Change our MX records to Google’s Postini service
• They filter all traffic and quarantine
• Deliver remaining traffic to our Exchange server as normal (via ip given)
• Users / Mailboxes have their own Postini accounts to admin their mail and spam filter/quarantine

Anyone know if this not possible anymore?

Talkin BS mate, been using postini for years through an American reseller, ExcelMicro, currently trying to move to UK based one as the Message Discovery product looks great esp the 10yr one so i can reduce my Directors' mailbox size :D

Exactly! I was trying to get a quote and get the ball rolling (£6 a user option) and then get a call back from Google saying they no longer offer such a service unless you take up Google Apps for Business... :confused:

I've put in another request to talk to somebody and have expressed my concern thoroughly. I will look at resellers.
