Makes sense... put two IMAIL servers together as peers... make one open and
free... the other gets virus scanned, move the users that select the
anti-virus service to the second box. You get a higher income, Ipswitch
sells another license, your users get what they pay for, and you have a more
redundant mail system. Everybody is happy. Am I going around the world to
get across the street here? I am sure someone will tell me if I am!
