Yeah, the decision of Postini was our corporate owners. We were using an in house system with it's own server. The advantage there was that the controller was much more personal and concise. I have a few issues with Postini. One of which is that we have users that their maximum screening settings still let's too much spam through. But there are several advantages. One big one is that I get a text message if they can't connect to us, so everything at my office could go completely dead and I'll still be alerted to that from Postini.

Of course there is definitely a volume limitation. But thanks for the info. I will look into it. (I believe it is in the neighbourhood of $7.00 per year per person but there are volume discounts and a number of alternative companies also providing that type of service).

Basically, you point your MX record to Postini, they get your mail, and forward it to your mail server. That way, all the spam hits them first, and they filter everything for you. I don't know how much a single user account costs, but it's worth looking into. When I ran my own mail server, it was constantly flooded with spam.

I thought the conversation was about hosting a website... apologies.

Running your own email server does imply being hit with spam. -- Stuart On 29 Apr 2010 at 16:26, Jim Lawrence wrote: ... > > Running your own IIS or Apache server does not imply being hit with spam or > a security risk...that is what routers are for. > ... > > > I just need a reality check as to whether trying to host a website > > in-house is insane, doable, easy, > > difficult?
