CBL:RE: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS

[Markus Gufler]

this are good news  :-)   thanks Markus     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Simpson Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 8:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS Marcus,   We recognized early on that relying on one email partner would be a mistake. To that end we had started this new development prior to any knowledge of the recent Ipswitch announcement.   Our immediate goal is to produce a ‘gateway’ version of Declude that will be downloadable and work within the ‘Windows’ environment. A gateway version of Declude enables our software to be compatible with any mail server. At the present time we do not anticipate any additional costs for existing customers in good standing (i.e. customers who have a valid service agreement) who wish to switch to the new software.   In the event that we add new modules to our suite of software these may be chargeable in the future. It is not our intention to force to customers purchase more software than they need and our modular pricing reflects this.   We are working just as fast as we can to get something out the door that will in effect be MTA independent.   Regards   Barry   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Markus Gufler Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CBL:RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS   Hi Barry,   So you're recommendation for the moment is to keep on IMail until you're ready with something else?   Is this the right way for the following situation: Running IMail unlimited and Declude Junkmail Pro and Virus Pro.   What if we've out an offer for two other such boxes? Beside the problem that we have to procure somewhere two v8 licenses, what about Declude licenses? Should we buy 2 x JM Pro and 2 x Virus Pro? After ?? months what's your offer for switch to a standalone license?   If it will not be a standalone product, I expect Declude will support another or some other mailservers. With date 2004-10-26 I'm looking for a new Mailserver. But if the new licenses of Declude will have the same pricing level as at the moment the most important point in the decision table will be: Is this MTA supporting Declude?   So I hope you understand what I mean: I realy want continue with Declude but at the moment with the current information it's not very easy to plan something.   God I feelt exactly this situation some months ago, and it was this feeling urging me to make some uncomfortable questions. In Germany people say: "Now the shit is steaming"   Markus         From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Simpson Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 7:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and Ipswitch ICS By now most of you will have seen the recent announcement by Ipswitch of their product repackaging. Like you, we are disappointed by their decision to effectively impose a price increase to their base product offerings and to burden existing and future customers who appreciate the advantages of purchasing the Declude suite of applications. To all our customers including the many hundreds of you who contacted us yesterday by phone, email, support system and the JunkMail and Virus lists we can assure you that Declude will not abandon you and we will continue to deliver and enhance Declude, or as one customer described it yesterday, “the best single feature of IMail!” We had hoped to make this announcement when we had a definitive delivery date but the 2 additional versions of Declude that will address this situation are in the development mill. We are not able to provide more information at the present time but we will keep you up-to-date with specific information as it becomes available. We thank our loyal customers and partners for their support. If any of you have specific questions please feel free to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
