REDWOOD CITY, CA – April 30, 2003 – Postini (www.postini.com), the leading email security services provider, today announced a three-fold increase in corporate sales over the fourth-quarter of last year. Several new Fortune 500 firms, as well as notable mid-sized companies, join an impressive list of Postini's industry-leading corporate customers in the real estate, retail, financial services, manufacturing and technology sectors. Customers including BRE Properties, Dell Laboratories, First Logic, First Reliance Bank, Midmark Corporation and many others trust Postini's Perimeter Manager™ to enable them to reliably, easily and cost-effectively block spam and viruses before they penetrate the customer's corporate networks, without requiring dedicated IT resources.

According to market research firm Meta Group, between 15-50% of inbound corporate email is now classified as spam. Robust email security solutions such as Postini's Perimeter Manager are topping the priority list of IT problems to address. Postini’s award-winning solution enables corporations to easily and cost-effectively filter spam and viruses without negatively impacting IT resources.

"Postini's sophisticated and effective approach to solving the problem of corporate spam before it even reaches the network, rather than at the desktop, accounts for the company's brisk growth, particularly among the Fortune 500 and other corporate customers," added Ryan McIntyre, a venture capitalist with Mobius Venture Capital, one of the lead investors in Postini. "Combating spam is clearly a growing concern and Postini remains well-positioned to help businesses in all industries as they prioritize shrinking IT budgets to implement solutions to the spam problem."
