Postini eh?
by kinggorman July 9, 2007 6:48 AM PDT: this is not the best filter, it routinely allows all kinds of spam into my work email...mail for bad penny stock tips, replica watches and handbags, pills of all kinds, etc, etc...my colleagues and I all delete them all day. I was out for a few days and my mailbox was over it's limit...all cause of the spam. Maybe Google can make this thing work correctly.; Reply to this comment View all 3 replies
