Rats. I was hoping I was totally off-base, and all these features were actually hidden in the program or configs somewhere. Not really sure how thrilled I am about moving our customers' servers over without some of these items.

However its webmail is very nice. I hope we have that in IMAIL.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] SmarterMail Features (or lack thereof?)

So, we've been looking quite a bit at SmarterMail for the past few
months ... everyone in here seems to rant and rave about it, wishing
they had switched sooner. However, when I really dig into it, it seems
like it's missing a lot of common functionality. Here's a couple
examples that I confirmed with their tech support:

- There's no way to have an alias launch an EXE (or do anything but go
to another email address)
- There's no global filters, and no way to create filters automatically
with web services. Editing the XML directly would require a service
restart. So it'd need to be entirely manual, or find a way to hook their
DLLs I guess.
- No way to change the connection banner for IMAP (or smtp or pop3)
- No way to create an address or alias that would allow a user to
unsubscribe the mailing list by just sending a message there, it *needs*
to have "unsubscribe" in the subject. I assume this could somehow be
rigged with some title-rewriting content filter .. ick.

I've seen a few other things that concern me .. some of this stuff is on
the list, or has been put on the list for the next release, but they're
shooting for December. So, I guess we should realistically assume 2006.

Any thoughts?

Jonathan
