Judging by the responses, I suppose that it is inappropriate, at least without approaching Barry about promoting this product here. I don't however believe that the intentions were to snipe customers away from Declude, but instead to provide a value-added solution to those of us that require an address-validating gateway or pre-scanner of some sort. His company has of course previously offered a plug-in for Declude, and publishes a blacklist that many around here are making use of as well. I don't believe that they are looking at this product as a big money maker for them, or even a money maker at all. Even programs like Sniffer has some potential of competing with Declude, though both are of course stronger as a result of working together. It would be good for Declude to offer a gateway solution of some sort or find a partner to do so.

I  can't  believe  what is apparently permissible on this list. Has no
one  realized that this product is a commercial competitor to IMail or
SmarterMail,  with  no  relevance  to Declude? Don't try that "mail is
stopped before Declude has to deal with it" attempt at association. It
is  what  it  is.  A  separate,  commercial  anti-spam gateway with no
integral link to the now-struggling Declude.

At  least  Len  Conrad's  free  cookbook for IMGate has the exact same
features as the one he charges $500 to install. That's always been the
redeeming quality of his plugging model. Guess the game has changed.

For everyone who's silently letting this go: how'd you feel if Vamsoft
started  advertising  here?  Do you think there aren't other people on
the list who've kept quiet about similar products and services?
