Hi Scott, and thanks for the reply. This leads to another issue: we haven't
used your interim releases because these are either considered beta or alpha
(according to your interim page). We normally try to use only the standard
("final") releases on our production software. Following this newsgroup, it
seems like your current beta/alpha versions have a lot of cool features, but
they're still beta/alpha. So do we have to use beta/alpha versions to be
current and safe? With other software, such as MS Windows Server 2003, it's
not critical to use them right away, so we wait a while (until there's a
service pack or two for MS OS software, for example), but with AV
protection, as well as SPAM protection, we need to be really current. So
how do we reconcile this?
Ben
