I very much agree, and even the wording in my own message was a bit too harsh given the circumstances. I do personally not like anything to do with phoning home, especially when not given an option, warning or description of the data collected and used, and I am fearful of having my hands tied by some mechanism to validate licenses. I do however believe that if Barry and the rest of the crew listens, the proper course should become obvious to them, and I fully expect and support their desire to enforce licensing with their product using reasonable methods. I also wish that they would include major changes like this in the release notes, otherwise it gives the appearance of being sneaky when it comes to such items.

It is good that this is coming out now while in beta.

Dear Greg,

I think Declude will not make the mistake like Ipswitch. In the past they listened to their customers (Thanks, Scott!).
Please give support of declude a chance to think about the statements of their customers.
I am sure we will get more infos from them soon.


Bye,
Uwe

The use of MAC address will break my network config.
Looks like Ill have to find a new MAIL/VIRUS solution if you cannot find a way around the use of MAC address.

1- Please do not base keys on mac adresses. IP maybe, but not mac



I believe the decision was made to use the MAC address based on the fact that some people might be running copies of IMail on separate servers behind a single IP.



And what happens if you have 4 nics, and 32 IP address on the same machine, of
which they use Private IP's that are nat'd via separate firewalls?


Best solution would be to use a Machine ID, and license file.

What if a Single Nic server were to loose there nic @ 12AM Friday, So, No mail
tell Monday?




Here is what i get
The mail does not get delivered
and Nothing in declude virus log is being added after the upgrade



If you use LOGLEVEL DEBUG, does it record anything in the log file?
