I suggest a simpler, centrally managed by assp support version for those who want to use assp but cannot handle the management of it. In my case, I simply have no time anymore and we've downsized our email services to the point where we only have a couple dozen people so having to spend a ton of time on some software simply doesn't work.
However, I'd like to continue using assp because I truly believe in it. I would be willing to pay by the year but not by the month and not by the user. We often provide free email hosting or temporary services to non profit organizations and such. Besides, once set up, it really only needs occasional maintenance which is a breeze for someone who knows this software well. Just my two cents. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Horn Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 9:09 AM To: For Users of ASSP Subject: Re: [Assp-user] support I would just like to echo the sentiment that ASSP can be difficult to manage. There is a steep learning curve in understanding each of the hundreds of options, and understanding how they interact with each other. While is is the best spam fighting option that I've found to date, it does take a lot of time to troubleshoot and manage. - Jason On May 13, 2013, at 8:59 AM, <m...@grounded.net> wrote: > Same thing for me.
