[OT] Mailscanner and McAfee

[S Mohan]

True. However, the server licence cannot be used to scan email bags of
multiple users on the same machine as per their licence. Sophos requires you
to buy a 1000 user licence if you have 100 emailbags on a mail server as per
their lic policy. The explanation I got was that if we buy 5 client
licences, one of the licences gets converted to a server licence!

Check it out.

I know it's not McAfee, but when I bought my copy of Sophos (via a Sophos
Reseller and after conversations with Sophos themselves) I ended up with a
license allowing use on one server and up to 5 workstations running any os.
The cost was ~£300 and I now run the server copy on Freebsd 4.x and the
workstation copies on a mixture of W98, W2k and Freebsd. I can't see a
financial problem with that, I think it excellent value!

Don't see why, if you think about it, the app is not running as a
daemon, it's being called to scan a file, just as if you were running it
as a command line scanner. Only way to know I suppose would be NAI
support, but has anyone ever had any joy there?
