Google Message Security, powered by Postini, provides highly effective inbound and outbound email security for organizations of all sizes. It simplifies the task of managing security and compliance of email messages and frees up valuable IT resources. Google Message Security is always on and always current, so organizations are assured of having effective and reliable protection for their email at all times.

Leveraging a patented, on-demand architecture, Google Message Security blocks spam, phishing, viruses, and other email threats before they reach your organization, reducing load on your email servers, conserving bandwidth and improving the performance of your existing messaging infrastructure. Google Message Security is delivered in a Software-as-a- Service (SaaS) model, saving money and IT resources because there is no hardware or software to install and maintain. Google Message Security conserves IT resources by eliminating the constant patching and updates that are required by other appliance or software solutions. It also reduces the burden on your IT help desk by empowering your end users to manage their own message quarantines and settings with an easy-to-use, web-based interface. Rather than calling your help desk, end-users can inspect their message quarantines and deliver any desired messages. Users regularly receive a quarantine summary email with their quarantine details. They are also able to fine-tune their spam protection settings to their own preferred levels. All of these end-user controls are totally configurable, giving you complete control over what end-users are allowed to do.

Google Message Security can automatically enforce your email security policies. This policy enforcement helps assure legal and regulatory compliance for both inbound and outbound email across your organization. Transport Layer Security (TLS) support is included to encrypt sensitive email communications and can be automatically enforced for all communications between designated email domains. This ensures that sensitive or regulated communications are always delivered with the appropriate level of security.

Google Message Security provides a convenient web console for administration. The console provides real-time configuration and policy modifications, monitoring, and alerting, as well as comprehensive reporting for administrators. Users can be defined in the console or, Google Message Security can be integrated with your organizational directory structure for user synchronization. Google Message Security includes multiple components that combine to deliver effective protection against email threats available today:

- Real-time threat identification, based on processing over two billion email messages per day, provides global visibility to emerging threats. This “network effect” automatically identifies and tracks internet protocol (IP) addresses that are issuing attacks such as spam, viruses, denial of service (DoS), etc. As soon as a threat is identified, it is blocked for all Google Message Security customers.

The threat identification is also self correcting so that as IP addresses stop attacking, they are again allowed to establish simple
mail transfer protocol (SMTP) connections to send legitimate email messages.

- Patented real-time anti-spam technology examines thousands of elements of an email message in order to determine if it is spam. It provides extremely effective spam filtering, and exceptionally low false positive rates.

- Anti-virus protection builds on the anti-spam detection and includes zero-hour heuristics and signature based detection methods, together with multiple commercial anti-virus engines.

- Content management allows you to define policies for both inbound and outbound email that provides an additional layer of protection against external threats. It also delivers protection from inadvertent or malicious leaks of confidential data in outbound email messages and their attachments.

- Attachment management enables you to define specific policies regarding file attachments and allows messages to be blocked or quarantined based on the types or sizes of files that are attached to email messages. Attachment management inspects archive files such as .zip and .rar files to evaluate the file’s contents. It also lets you define specific policies for handling encrypted archive files.

Telkom charge a once off DSL line installation fee of R543.91


DSL speeds cannot be guaranteed due to factors including line length, copper quality and network availability.

The speed profiles for the DSL services change as per the profiles listed below. The speed of the service is the line sync speed between the modem and the Telkom exchange equipment.

The F3 DSL service has 4 sub-profiles, which are used to stabilise customers' service that experience re-synch (service interuptions) on their ADSL lines due to last mile distance, noise and attenuation. Therefore customers that experience problems on the service may be accommodated on any of the secondary profiles below:

- If you have an existing telephone line (excl prepaid phones, ISDN lines or if you are running a PABX through the line) we can apply for your ADSL on your behalf through Telkom and bill you the monthly line rental fee saving you up to 5% monthly.

- On our One Price ADSL, you as the client can bundle any ADSL line speed with any package we offer, however you would have to use specified router for our One Price Accounts amd this also saving you up tpo5% on the monthly line rental.

- If you have an existing ADSL line, we can migrate/transfer the line over to Online Direct and we can bill you the monthly fee saving you up to 5% on your monthly line rental change in comparison with Telkom standard line rental charges.
