I'll bet that Declude will be supporting a lot of platforms in the
future. They're smart guys, and there are a lot of systems out there
that can use what Declude has.

I know that we will continue to push for better integration in all of
the platforms we support. Wherever we can, we will drag them along with
us ;-)

MailEnable is another interesting target I was looking at today. It's
so open (apparently) that it should be possible to do extremely
sophisticated things with it. I've got stuff on my short list that
will keep me away from it, but I'll bet that's one of the next
platform interfaces we will build. (Any other suggestions let me know
- our goal is to have a very wide audience!)

Then there are all of the open source packages out there... Nothing
says these can't be repackaged into a tightly integrated, easily installed
distribution with a few proprietary plug-ins thrown in for good
measure... that's a big undertaking though, so it will come later
(when, not if: somebody has to do it - maybe Postfix + Courier +
ClamAV + ... for example. Sniffer already runs on postfix (even better
soon). It shouldn't be hard for Declude to get there.).

Gateway software, appliances, MTA integration (Postfix, QMail, MS
SMTP, etc...), Email platforms - SmartMail, MailEnable, ...

Lots of opportunities, lots of smart folks in the community and inside
Declude, nothing to worry about. Perhaps this IMail thing was just the
knock needed to shove things into high gear.

Imagine having your choice of virtually any email platform to run with
Declude (and Sniffer of course <G>) ... I'll bet it happens before
long.

Well... back to work with me...
