Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Notification Policy...

[Matt]

I would like to receive notifications such notifications of all know issues, or at least have a special section on their site for things that aren't as widespread as this.  That way it would save me time in diagnosing and reporting issues that were already known, and of course alert me to others that I might not be aware of.  This has happened repeatedly to me in the past, though this list has been a great resource if you can keep up with it.  The issues go back to the repeated requests under the old system related to changes in the interim releases which were primarily bug fixes.  I accepted the reasons for the policy then (resources and process related), and I expect that at some point it would change, though I also accept that CPHZ has a full plate with movement to a GUI-based install, being forced to prioritize the move to other MTA's, learning everything they can from Scott, and of course managing their customer base.  Issues like this kind of bring unwanted focus to such pre-existing shortcomings that hadn't yet floated to the top. This also brings further untimely attention to the perceived need for a minor version release policy, something like what IMail has where bugs are fixed in x.xx releases and new functionality is minimally a x.x release.  For the time being it appears that most bug fixes are merely a part of versions primarily related to new functionality, though they broke with that for the JPG vulnerability fix in 1.81 and now seemingly with this, but I don't expect to see the more minor things also fixed in this release.  Again, I don't expect dramatic change overnight, but I would be very happy to see this on their roadmap as soon as it fits appropriately in the priorities.

This is getting less Gee-golly-Scott-must-be-on-vacation and more Something-must-be-done. There should be a security/stability notification list, separate from the support list, started up promptly. Right now, we're getting even less transparency than we get from Microsoft; in fact, the MS bulletins provide ample templates for [EMAIL PROTECTED]. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
