There may not be show stopper bug right now but what if a vunrability is discovered. IPSwitch will not necessarly create the patch for an older version. They may say update to ICS it does not have the vunrability???
I do not expect all IMail installations to dump IMail because of this but many of us will not renew our service agreements by being forced to upgrade. And when time comes for new features like port 587 or SPF support. Current imail admins will look for other mail server software at a more reasonable price. This is a shock to us all and in many opinions bad business on IPSwitches part.
