Re: Email Spam (inbound and outbound) and Malware Protection

[Adam Nave <nave () MACALESTER EDU>]

Macalester College uses Google Apps for Edu for all users. We use only their
default spam/malware protection, we have not purchased additional Postini
features. In general, we are very satisfied. It's pretty rare for spam and
phishing attempts to slip through (though it does happen occasionally) and
I've never heard of anyone here getting malware via email.
