Hi
this question has probably been asked before, but i cant find a definite
answer on the site :(


If i am using mailscanner to scan incoming emails, what license do i
need?
I have been looking at RAV and SOPHOS, and (mainly RAV) a workstation
and a server version of there software which version do i need to
install to scan using mailscanner?
I use mailscanner on a single machine with direct DynDNS access and
receive all my emails directly to this machine in one location, and in a
couple of other locations i have a router box, acting as an internal
mail server for small networks.

I know there is a lot of problems as in networked mail servers need
licenses for all attached users etc, but what about the single
workstation? and CAN the single workstation version work OK with a
networked mailscanner?

I'm not asking anyone to tell me how/how not to break the law, its just
a general question.

Any help would be great.
P.S. I have gone off the free virus scanners a bit after hearing CLAM
was down for a week :( plus some of my customers want to pay for AV as
they believe paying means more reliability (they don't mention that when
faced with the quotes for a Linux based server against a windoz based
server!!!)
