I'm a happy user of McAfee. It's a competent piece of Unix software
that doesn't have too many gratuitous oddities, and I've only found
one bug which although stupid is not serious (try uvscan ''). I'm
currently running it on RedHat 7.3 and 9, and my test setup is FreeBSD
4.X, 100K mesages per machine per day. I don't know about the licensing
side of things because I'm lucky enough to have colleagues that keep
our site licence up-to-date.
