There are two forms of Google Message Security powered by Postini (GMS) that you
can enable for your domain: integrated and standalone.
• You configure integrated GMS directly from your Google Apps admin control
panel. Integrated GMS provides sophisticated spam and virus protection for your
users, but it doesn’t support advanced mail routing configurations.
• You configure standalone GMS from a separate dashboard. In addition to offering
spam and virus protection, standalone GMS also allows you to configure complex
mail routing rules for your domain.
Note: If your legacy system includes multiple domains, standalone GMS is a
necessity for proper mail routing.
If your Google Apps package includes standalone GMS, you should set up your
administrator accounts and make sure the tool is properly configured for your legacy
system. After GMS is properly configured, all of your incoming mail is routed through it
on its way to your legacy system, Google Apps, or both.
• Read the Message Security Administration Guide to learn how to set up
standalone GMS.
• Read Add an administrator to learn how to add additional admins to standard
GMS. Note that adding an administrator to Google Apps does not automatically
add that administrator to GMS.
• If you are still deciding whether to include standalone GMS in your Google Apps
package, read
