TrendMicro is suing BarracudaNetworks over the incredibly novel idea of scanning email for viruses (via the excellent open-source ClamAV ) on an SMTP server. To me, this is akin to suing someone for locking their doors at night. I mean, who could’ve ever thunk to scan email before it hits mailboxes? Unpossible.

Sigh. Add me to the list of sysadmins that think TrendMicro sucks and doesn’t deserve your money.
