Well You are right about you and me. But those users using MailScanner
in the US? They are violating the patent in question. So some of "us"

Well. I tended to support sales and customers in Trend Micro issues
untill a few short hours ago. I think I will register as having zero
knowledge tomorrow morning on matters regarding Trend Micro.
