Just thought I'd remind you about a service we started to offer after Christmas. Its a very simple bolt-on to Postini which enables you to have access to your email in the event of a DR situation. Let me explain how it works...
In the event that your 'mail server' is off the air because its failed, your Internet connectivity has failed, or your building is now a pile of rubble, then Postini 'spools' your email in the cloud. That is something Postini has done since Day 1.
But, what if you want to get 'at' your email in between your DR plan kicking in, and your mail server being available again ? Easy, we now have another cloud based service that we use for customers to temporarily use for access to their email. What we do is release the email from postini and send it to our 'holding' service. You can then access it, read it, forward the email reply to email etc, just by using a web browser, like any other webmail. Only downside is, that you need a seperate email password to your regular LAN password, but thats no big deal.
Its very cheap, and like I say is designed to be a stop-gap - between invoking full DR and your mail server going down.
