Postini (Owned by Google since 2007) is a great hosted email and archiving service for email that many businesses rely on for security, spam filtering, and email storage.
There have been increasing delays reported Tuesday (10/13) this past week of up to 4 hours with email and very overloaded support etc… customers have been very frustrated. Google is working on resolving the delays and has finally communicated acknowledgement of the situation and are working as fast as possible to fix it. If you are a customer experiencing a problem, please go to the Postini Support Portal to work with them directly on it.
This begs the question again this month… Are these widely used and free application services really safe to rely on for your business? Is the Google model sustainable? Could you afford a 4 hour delay on email yesterday? I’d like to say, sure, I’ll pick up the phone, but in this economy that could really hurt.
