Trend Micro Sues Barracuda Over Open Source Anti-Virus

[Rose, Bobby]

But wouldn't MailScanner be more closely aligned as a MUA and not a MTA.
If the patent applies to the MTA handing the message off to a scanner
then that would apply to sendmail milters and such.  Hell, it could even
be applied to SpamAssassin in a milter setup.
 
Trend Micro should review how well indefensible patent suits have worked
out for Sun

Perhaps we should put layers to good use and let them sue Osama in
person.

But in fact it does not matter what scanner you use. The way they put it
any viruscanner called upon by MailScanner is a violation of the patent
as well. So if Trend Micro can get away with this then we are all up
against the legal wall as well.
