1) as we know everyone can scan for viruses and for spam locally on
their pc 2) so we tell them that when they do it on the server they save bandwidth and cost plus they don't have to waste time on setting it up locally and maintain it 3) so we charge a (small) per user fee per month for virus & spam protection 4) we move all spam to a special "spam" pop account so the customer sees how much gets filtered plus he has a change to review spam mail 4) we offer a 14 day trial for the service - after this everyone subscribes to it... The small fee should at least cover the cost of av/spam software involved, so when prices go up we look for other products that can do the same thing, or if we are satisfied with how it works (with spam) we don't renew the service agreement and stay at the current version But generally hosting business was more fun 5-6 years ago...

Adding CommTouch just adds to overhead without generating any revenue.I'm glad its an option and doesn't affect the rest of Declude. Declude is already at the upper limit of what we're willing to spend on a tool.-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of David Barker Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 3:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude 4.3 Gary, 1. Server Providers who use CommTouch as an add-in to Declude will be in violation of CommTouch's Terms of service. 2. Some of the benefits of CommTouch are Zero Hour virus protection and additional spam identifying technology such as Recurrent Pattern Detection Technology (RPD) recognized by key industry analysts as a leadingtechnologyin email outbreak detection. 3. We are in the process of defining the revenue share program and will provide the details to this when it is ready.

Since it would seem that Commtouch is being offered as an add-on, what are the benefits of having Commtouch? What does it do that Declude alone does not? And of course it would be nice if this "revenue share program" was spelled out somewhere. -------- Original Message --------From: "David Barker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude 4.3 There are restrictions on CommTouch being used by Service Providers we had to ensure that NEW customers (ie. Service Providers After 1 June 06) understand the licensing restrictions. Current Service Providers (ie. Before 1 June 06) are under no restrictions for using Declude; only the CommTouch add-in component. However we have managed to come to an agreement with CommTouch to enable our legacy customers (ie. Service Providers Before 1 June 06) to take advantage of CommTouch under a revenue share program, this program is not being forced onto legacy customers but will be an opportunity for us to help you increase revenues in your business, by providing you with new product like the Declude Gateway which would be independent of Imail/SmarterMail and will include CommTouch.
