It sure did, and despite Ipswitch's scurrilous tactics, I'm not sure exactly why so many people are panicking, declaring that they (the sysadmins) are "outta here" and running out to find another MTA. If you're running 8.1x or 7.1x and are satisfied with its performance as the "wrapper" for great add-ons such as Declude (and in turn for Sniffer, etc.), then why all the make-work? Sure, it's never good to be faced with the knowledge that your relationship with a given vendor will be over when you _do_ want more features, but the argument for this overnight or near-term migration only makes sense if you have a current, spec'd out need for a new feature that (a) is in ICS, but therefore beyond budget within the Ipswitch product line, or (b) is not in ICS, but must be found immediately nonetheless. A couple of posters have implied that they will move to Exchange, since their last best chance to avoid that move (a cheap ICS) hasn't been met; this makes sense as in option (a). Someone expecting needing envelope-level anti-spam rejections might move on as in option (b). But wherefore all the other cut-and-run posts? We're only now moving some of our last Novell 4.11 shops over to non-Novell OSs, and these clients have known for a shocking number of years that they would not be using NetWare when the time came to move on. Were we all angry at Novell for abandoning us when 5 and 6 both (in our opinions) sucked? Yes. Did _we_ abandon _them_ in revenge, when maintaining their most recent release didn't cost a thing? Certainly not overnight. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
