POSTINI

Postini is an Email and Web security company, founded in 1999 and originally based in San Carlos, California, United States.

On 9 July 2007, Google announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Postini[1]. Google spent $625 million in cash for the acquisition.[2] Postini employees have vacated the San Carlos office and are now based in the Googleplex.

Its services are mostly used by companies who manage their own email servers and would like to filter email before it reaches the destination mail server. The spam filtering provided is similar to that in use by Gmail.
