I can not see anything in the license I have that stops or restricts me from
using MailScanner and Sophos to scan incoming emails.

I think you may be referring to the "Sophos Anti-Virus Mail-Monitor for SMTP
for Unix" This is a separate product that is licensed on a per mailbox
basis. Each month you are required to email Sophos and tell them how many
boxes you are scanning, they then invoice you for that number.
The costs start at £0.39 per mailbox per month for 0-999 mailboxes and drop
to £0.08 per mailbox per month for 500,000 mailboxes.

Just think what a wonderful bargain we are getting from Julian - with Anti
Spam thrown in as well.

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?
