I have a client that is requesting we implement one of these solutions to replace the default filtering on an Exchange server (approximately 50 mailboxes). Has anyone out in Slashland had much experience administering one of these hosted anti-spam solutions and would care to comment?

Not likely. In 2008, average salary for a starting pitcher was $4,429,366. There are 162 games during an MLB season (not including playoffs) meaning a pitcher only makes $27,341.77 per game. Even if you assume he only gets "paid" for the games he plays (there are typically five starting pitchers on a team) then he only gets $138,417.68 per appearance.

Even the highest paid starting pitcher currently in the league only makes $23,000,000 per annum making his per appearance fee $718,750. Of course there's also performance bonuses and endorsement deals and what have you, but I don't have numbers for those.

It's actually only a 92 GB difference.

In the case of Wonderfalls, it was probably for the better.
