Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Thanks, but I don't have the leeway to install anything on the server, so Postini is out. I was also hoping for free.
I have gmail setup to do spam filtering for one set of addresses, but it's not truly transparent for the email address. I'm not sure how I'd set it up to be so. Is there a way to do that?
And, yeah, I might look into a new host. But mine says it has spam tools. They just don't work. There's no way to tell that from the outside. Does anyone here have a host rec where they
know
they have good server-side spam filtering, including the ability to check email that has been bounced, and to whitelist?
eta: I think I can safely say that 0 days on Thunderbird doesn't mean right away. Mailbox is still full of junk.
You don't have to install anything on your host. You just have to be able to direct the mx records for your domain to postini's servers.

Ah, okay. I still hope to find something free. I can't work out why Eudora was the only client I'd seen that did that. Unfortunately the current Eudora is just Thunderbird addons, and doesn't look interesting at all.
Don't know if this belongs here, but I had to share.

That's the mailbox whatchamacallit addresses I meant.
Any recommendations for business email hosting? Currently we use Earthlink, but we're fed up with them.
Since we have Comcast Business internet, we might switch to their email hosting as well. (Years ago, we picked Earthlink because they had dial-up, but we don't need dial-up anymore.)
eta: Oops, we need web hosting as well (just for a rudimentary web site at the moment).
At the massive company I work for, we use gmail for corporate mail.
That hadn't occurred to me.
Does your gmail use your corporate domain?
How well does that work? (info here: Host Your Domain Email at Gmail (Without Forwarding))
eta: The one thing that concerns me is gmail might go down too often for our business.
Yes it does. My email is name@massivecompany.com. It seems to work pretty well.
tommy,
I have google for apps for my personal domain and I liked it just fine the year I used it. I went back to gmail though because I am just one person.
