Richard the rockstar

Richard has assisted me over this past week with technical information and solving a recurring problem I had regarding space for my email domain. Due to the nature of my business I am required to store information for a minum period of 5 years. He has saved me Money as in all probability I would've just upgraded the mail size again without addressing the underlying issue. I owe him a debt of gratitude.
