An important feature designed in Praetor is its pass-through of messages for any unlicensed individuals. In other words, Praetor does not block messages for those who are not licensed. Instead Praetor will simply pass the messages without performing any checks against those messages. In this way, no message flow interruption will be experienced by the unlicensed individuals or servers. Only the benefits from Praetor's rule-based filtering will be withheld.
Starting with Exchange v5.5, Microsoft has made enhancements that give it the ability to act as a mail relay, as evidenced by the different routing options available for each domain. Also it is possible for non-local recipients to have a local address through the creation of a Custom Recipient entry which appears in the directory of Exchange users. These recipients will count toward the user license for Praetor if you want them to be protected. The same is also true for any public folder you want protected as they also have an associated email address.
Lotus Notes has long had the ability to specify a forwarding address for any Person record. This was made even more friendly in Notes R5 with the drop-down list of the various address types: Notes, cc:Mail, Other Internet Mail, POP or IMAP, X.400, and Other. From a licensing standpoint, these person records are counted toward the licensed users since Praetor will be filtering their messages.
For generic SMTP mailers, many accommodate a similar function by the creation of a .forward address. As in the other two examples, these users would also count in Praetor's licensing.
