From what I'm reading on McAfee's site, the NetShield product will work. I don't see anything about a per-mailbox licensing scheme, just mention about nodes. It doesn't appear that they're selling single-node licenses, but the 5 node is just $150. I would assume that most ISPs would have another 4 boxes (windows, unix, whatever) laying around that could use a licensed virus scanner :) HTH, -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 - 866.477.5638 http://www.psknet.com ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Rob Secombe ** Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 8:53 PM ** To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org ** Subject: Further to Virus checking mail server ** ** ** Hi all, ** ** I read with interest the recent thread on real time virus checking ** mailservers.
