Problem here is that reading the license.txt file you require a license
for every user who connects to this machine. I talked to Priority Data
with regard to this and that is every every email address you store mail
for. So 20 Email address would cost £1400 for a 2 Year Subscription
License.

It is definetly not anywhere near Amavis Scanner. Even the old Bash
version (which I am still running !!).
