I have helped install and configure the mail essential product for one
location. It actually is loaded on an NT workstation, uses the anti-virus
software that is already loaded on the workstation, automatically 'zips' all
outgoing attachments if the in-house sender forgets, adds a legal
disclaimer, performs spam filtering based on keywords/phrases, and works
great!
Again, for the price, you can't expect too much in the areas of support
overall look and feel.
>From what I understand, as long as there are no users (i.e. people using POP
accounts on the MailEssentials machine) you are OK to purchase the 10 user
license. Check this out withtheir sales folks before you make the decision
though.
