Sophos Licensing

[Matthew Bowman]

Not aware of any License implications, however hen I contacted Sophos
about 2 weeks ago to evaluate their product their pricing I thought is too
high. Basically for an ISP they suggested that we pay per mailbox per
month. For 1000 mail boxes it would cost is $300/month!. We are currently
evaluating F-prot which I believe is $450/server per year -- much more
appetizing.

Cany any mailscanner+sophos users can help me out here. I've
received a quote from sophos for use with mailscanner, and
they include pricing for SAV Interface and SAV Connect licenses.

Does anyone know which license is needed for use with
MailScanner. I am only asking for verification here, because
the chap I spoke with at sophos seemed a little unsure(!).

Given the huge differential in price, I'd like to be sure
which is needed before I test sophos out any further.

Perhaps this should be in the FAQ?

thanks!
