eConnect Email Help Center

Postini has created what they call preEMPT™ - Postini Preemptive Email Protection Technology.

preEMPT™ filters out spam, viruses and phishing, protects email systems from a wide range of attacks, and provides IT organizations with tools to secure email connections and regulate email delivery without the need for software or hardware. Postini’s pass-through architecture processes all Internet based email bound for a company's email server. preEMPT™, which includes heuristics-based anti-spam and virus engines, separates junk email and viruses from legitimate messages.

Legitimate email messages pass through to the addressee, while junk email is quarantined in a web-based, password-protected Postini Message Center. If a company chooses, employees can have access to their quarantined email and the ability to adjust filters to their personal preferences.
