Re: Barracuda Information

We made the same decision. Deciding to use Postini has worked out great fo=
r the reasons stated and a few more.

We also added the message archiving to meet compliance issues on email rete=
ntion, that has been great as well. Definitely a cheaper and better soluti=
on than anything else I saw at the time.

We investigated the use of Barracuda, but opted for Google Postini. Here w=
ere the key points of Postini that made us move in that direction:
- Ability to queue mail at Postini's servers if there is an interruption of=
service
- Spam is filtered before it reaches our network, cutting down on bandwidth=
dedicated to spam
- Lower cost of support (no device on-site to support)

There are substantial discounts based on larger account orders.

Thanks,
Chris
