Put simply, MessageLabs will protect your organization from Internet threats such as viruses, spam, spyware and other inappropriate content, more effectively than any other vendor in the world. MessageLabs can support this claim with a consistent track record of stopping threats long before the competition and through the industry’s strongest Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) that include an unrivaled 100% guarantee against known and unknown email viruses.

Or put less simply, when your clients use message labs and also use donotreply.com as an internal sending domain, I get the emails.

So companies like Pershing, which provides services for financial institutions, send their internal emails to me.

I am sure hiring messagelabs to manage their emails made the executives feel safe. They were leaving it to the pros. Only one problem, even if you use an outside service to manage your emails, your own internal stupidity can still bite you in the ass.
