A non-Ipswitch poster said that an anonymous tech indicated so. We all
know  that if that was a first-level tech... their word is not exactly
gold. True, the IMail product manager chimed in to say that no patches
of any kind are offered for older versions, but did not own up to this
vulnerability,  AFAICS. Not encouraging either way. It is notable that
the various third-party advisories (most of them reprints, to be sure)
specify:

Ipswitch Collaboration 2006 Suite Premium Edition
Ipswitch Collaboration 2006 Suite Standard Edition
Ipswitch IMail 2006
Ipswitch IMail Plus 2006
Ipswitch IMail Secure 2006

If  script  kiddie  code  were  in  the  wild, an upgrade-or-get-owned
vulnerability in the thousands of IMail 6.x, 7.x, and 8.x MXs still in
use  is  a  MAJOR problem! But don't you think some white hat would've
tested  8.x  in  the  process  of  checking  the proof-of-concept? Not
necessarily, but it would be traditional.

Hmm,  I  kinda  saw the opposite, in that Kevin said of Safari support
today  (9/11),  "This  will  be available in an expert user program in
sept/oct  and to the general public in the next release." It would, of
course,  behoove  him  to lightly imply (somewhere else?) that (a) the
patched  2006.1 supports Safari and (b) 8.22's SMTPD is subject to the
new vulnerability, but I don't believe either of these are true.
