Hi Darrell, My Declude is working as Pro still. Looking back I find an undeliverable message to:
Delivery failed 20 attempts: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am not sure if this is a call home message or not since it has part of a message that I sent to Declude support earlier at the bottom of the Undeliverable message. I do know that the message that is at the bottom got through as David (of Declude) replied to it.
