<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The 30 day eval is free. The licensed linux version cost is either based on number of mailboxes, domains and/or servers. Their prices are somewhat high however we evaluated it and found that it was very good product. At the moment our clients have to make do with their local Norton/Symantec AV software until we install a server side av solution. </font>

Where are you finding Sophos for free? <br>
I am only able to find it for a cost.<br>
Can you send the URL you used to get the free copy in your reply?<br>
