Hi, Roots don't count? Has it always been that way? We have a lot of domains that have just one mail box -- root (with an alias, of course). So I could have, say, 1000 domains with just the root acount, and then have another 20 accounts with one extra (non-root) mailbox each, and I'd be eligable for the 25 user license, even though I've really got 1020 users sending/receiving email?
