New Message Security/Discovery Service from Google - Powered by Postini

Great News!  We will soon be switching to the Google Message Discovery Service (powered by Postini). This service includes both Message Security and Message Archiving features. providing you with world-class protection against dangerous viruses and spam as well as email archiving. This service is scheduled to rollout beginning this Friday, July 28, 2011.

The primary reasons for this switch are it is a little less expensive than the one we had been using. Also, it includes email archiving(searchable by the user) for up to 10 years. This will also help us comply with legal requirements about email retention.

This is what you should expect:

1. As we add your email address to the service, you will receive an email
   notification that welcomes you to the service and the Message Center and
   includes password instructions that permit access to the Message Center.

2. You will receive a daily email notification with a Quarantine Summary
   which provides a list of messages that have been quarantined since the
   previous day. You can view the messages from the list, deliver them directly
   to your inbox or just ignore them. Virus-detected messages are deleted
   and will not appear on the list.

Please log in to your Message Center as soon as possible to review any possible
legitimate messages, prevent a sender's message from being quarantined in the future
by updating your Approved Senders List, adjust your sensitivity to spam or select
another language preference.

For more information on the Message Center and Quarantine Summary, we encourage you to take a guided tour of the service:
