Yea, I'm sure that's the case, but nobody has offered me any insight into
their licensing plans, so I'm just going to stick with the eval version. I
think I'll pick up a copy of their total virus defense so I can at least say
that I tried if I get questioned.
As far as a per user license thing, I could simply have all the mail goto a
mail user and have a program then sort it out and put it in the actual
spools, sure I'd be having multiple users, but I think I would be within
their license...

You will probably find that you need one license per protected user. I
considered changing from a per-desktop scheme to just putting McAfee
on an Exchange server, and that was definitely licensed that way. I'm
fairly sure the same applies to mail gateways.
NAI have a fairly "interesting" licensing scheme. It's very easy to
find that you are renting the licenses (this happened to me) and if
you choose not to renew you get a threatening letter from their legal
department warning you to delete all copies and sign a document
stating that you have done so.
