I have a message more for management more than Scott (and I hope they are listening!):
Don't fix what aint broken! Declude has a solid following because of the way that Scott has treated IMail users in the past with feature upgrades, release methods and great support. If the new management is going to "restrict" or "force" Scott's efforts then the result will be a loss of customers. We are a rather finicky group!! And we know how to latch onto a good product or dump a bad one. I know that Scott is not in "complete" control any more, but I hope that corporate bureaucracy is not introduced into an otherwise smooth running product.

That depends on how you define "control" (no, I'm not a politician!). In this case, the level of control isn't clearly defined. The transition of management can be tricky, and needs to be handled carefully. If the new owners wanted nearly 100% control, they could have it (I definitely would not support that decision, though, and on the other hand, I'm sure they wouldn't try to do that). But it is important for the new owners to have as much control as possible, within reason. Put another way, while the new owners do some things differently than I would have (as is always the case with a transition in management), I haven't seen them do anything that I would really disapprove of. If I did, though, I am sure that they would listen to me and give serious thought to what I said. They are well aware that I got the company where it is now, and that if I am telling them they made a serious mistake, they would pay attention. >One of the best things I liked about Declude was your constant collaboration >on IMail and this group.

I definitely do have a lot of input about what is going to happen in the future. :) The final decisions, of course, will be up to the new management -- but they will definitely listen carefully to what I say. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
