I agree with you Andy. I have no problems with Declude at all.
The software must ask for permission to send any information back to it's
authors... Just like Microsoft and it's new licensing requirement.
We also develop software; as I'm sure most on this list does. Our software
does have privacy ("a make sure they are licensed") type of code it... But
it never sends out any information without that Clients knowledge.
Again, just so everyone is aware... I (personally) have no problem with
Declude. It is a great product. But sending out information that is not
made aware of when it does so, it's a privacy concern to our upper
management.

I agree - I love Declude.
>> My company has asked me to look into other spam control because of

non-discloser of such activity the software does "behind doors" <<
But with that information, I can tell you that my management would be in the
same boat. If a "security" software (virus protection / defending against
phishing, etc.) turns out to have ONE hidden "enablement" for the software
vendor - then they'd automatically assume that the vendor is not playing
with an open deck and there could be other, much worse, backdoors.
I fully approve and agree that Declude should strictly enforce their rights
to annual maintenance. But an underhanded approach like this questions their
ethics (not in my mind - but in the mind of those who don't need to know the
details and only look at the big picture.)
Best Regards
