Thank you .... I apologize if this is off-topic... a couple of folks have answered me offline and mentioned that it might be... Basically, we are interested in one particular domain name containing 35,000 email addresses as an ISP. Antispam/Antivirus and a quarantine option for 14 days minimum. Preferably an API of some type that can automate against our SQL backend. Open to ideas (on-list or offline by all means). I'm very happy to stay where we are, but our GM got a phone call today from a sales rep at Tucows and now price is of great interest.. Basically the Tucows price is a fraction of our Postini costs so it's getting attention and I'm just looking for input...

For some people, nowadays you can go to a hosted email solution for the price of filtering.. and besides, any form of 'filtering' appliance or service comes at a price compared to solutions built into your mail servers.. It would be helpful if you provided the following: Type of Email Server/Service you want to protect Number of Email Boxes. Any other custom wants/needs. I never want to slag on anyones' service, but even if I did, I am sure you will get votes both ways. Your decision might need to be based on other factors that you are not aware of at this time. Cost is an obvious concern, but if say you are an ISP, and end up with more support calls with one company or the other.. it might outweigh the monthly cost differences. You would get better results if people with the same size and environment commented.... -- Michael -- On October 29, 2009, Paul Stewart wrote:
Hi folks...
Anyone have much experience with outsourcing antispam/antivirus to Tucows? We use Postini today and are overall pleased. The Tucows pricing seems to be MUCH lower so curious on any feedback...
Thanks,
Paul
