For what reasons would users need accounts on the Microsoft
hosted solution? For preferences and access to quarantined
mail?

We were looking at the service (EHS) and one thought we had was
to let the service tag the messages but not quarantine them.
Filters in our local Mirapoint system would look at the tags
and if above a specified value would place the messages in
the users' junkmail folders.
