F-Prot...
Is it for home use only? purely non commercial? Linux? In that case 
f-prot is downloadable and usable for free for the desktop, you dont in 
this case need the mail server version, the folk at f-prot once said so 
long as it gets no commercial use they dont object to you using the 
desktop version in your _private home use only mail server_ (they're not 
as blind and stupid as most and know and accept 3/4 of it downloaded are 
used for this reason as well as scanning pc, however it was stressed the 
first time that pc is used for *any* commercial use, you must cease use 
of the free desktop version immediately or will be in violation of the 
license and subject to actions.

On a more personal thought...
Also using this version in a commercial environment places the free use
in jepoardy for all, it would take no effort for them to pull it 
completely, so do the right thing by them, it is rare when we have this
type of free use ability at home with something that is so very good and 
effective and efficient, it's almost like saying you can use the BMW for 
free when ever you want (but subject to not driving it off bitumen roads)
