	"I would like to let you know how nice it was working with the Messaging Architects on the evaluation of M+Guardian. The account executive helped me get it installed and configured within 5 minutes of calling him, and he promptly answered my emails within a few minutes. I am cutting my evaluation short, because I don't need to see anything else. M+Guardian addresses all my anti-spam and anti-virus needs. The product takes 5 minutes to get up and running, and miraculously enough, it runs! With this solution I have one less thing to worry about during the course of my day. Once again, thanks for everything that your company does. Fantastic product!" - Mark Barham, Information Systems Manager, City of Williamsburg, VA
