Cost of Virus Scanner!

[Bjarke Pedersen]

Hmm, regarding the cost of Sophos. I talked to my dealer. First he wanted a
per user fee. 20 users/1 mail server = 20 licences
(~20.000dkk/yr~2.000$US/yr=expensive smtp gateway). He then decided that
'one may tweak the rules' - if you buy 5 (or more) licences you are allowed
to install one licence on a 'server'. I ended up with 5 licenses
(~500$US/yr) to get one linux (server) installation. One may use the other
four on 'workstations'.

Regards,

Bjarke Pedersen

I believe the list of extra AV systems that mailscanner will work with in
the next release (before Christmas) will be:

 F-Secure, Inoculate-IT, Command Software AV, NAV, possibly Kaspersky.


Hope that helps...
