Hi all,

I am in the process of reviewing some email continuity solutions such as the one offered by Messagelabs. Solutions such as this are not cheap, however, I believe they reduce complexity when it comes to administration and serves as a feasible DR type solution for emails as opposed to purchasing a new server for DR purposes.

Have any of you had first hand experience using this service and what are your opinions and/or feedback?

Thanks in advance.
