Thanks a lot Rob. That means, if I am having 100 users who access the internet mail server, and transact mails to and fro the domain, I need to take only 100 licenses. My Firewall has published a NAT-ed IP Address of the mail server so that the internal users can access it. I hope that is not going to make any difference, because, the users can access this server only if I give them a mail account on this server, Best Regards, Subhasis --- "Rutherford, Robert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > AFAIK...
