Easing in..

I ask you, is having your pseudo-ISP inform you that they’re switching all their email filtering stuff over to Postini, and that you have until the end of this short week to not only understand what that means, but get used to handling your own anti-spam and quarantine settings and teach everyone on staff about what that means and how to make their own choices on handling these things, any way to ease back into work after a long weekend?

I thought not..

That being said, I think this is going to be a good change, but there will be a significant adjustment to be made by my users and that usually brings a mixed bag of reactions, so I’m expecting the same. I’ll know more tomorrow when my Postini account goes live and I can get a feel for everything before turning over all the other accounts. Anyone ever used the Postini service? Your feelings?
