at work Using the Postini Email Pre-Processing
Infrastructure, incoming email messages
are monitored in real time. The Postini
Junk Email Assistant uses the industrys
most comprehensive set of email analysis
tools and technologies to examine each
message in milliseconds. The characteristics of each message are
compared against a set of rules that
define probable junk email and probable
legitimate email. These two evaluations
yield a score that is compared to the user-defined tolerances to determine
whether the message is suspicious or
not and what action is to be taken based
on the user-defined message configuration. The Message Center Suspicious email messages are quaran-
tined in your subscribers individual,
web-based Message Center. Each
Message Center is password protected,
ensuring that only the intended recipient
reads the message. Here your subscribers
can view suspicious email at any time
and choose to deliver or delete them. The Postini Message Center puts your
subscribers in control. This is important
because one persons junk email is another
persons treasure. Your subscribers can
define exactly what level of protection
they want, without contacting you to make
decisions and adjustments. This also
alleviates claims of censorship that other
junk email services and ISPs have suffered. pushing the envelope Postini delivers value-added email services
