What is everyone talking about here, is Imail prohibiting add on's
such as declude in future versions
No.
is declude launching a new version for another platform?
It is, as ever, hoped-for but not confirmed.
The panic level just went up with those last few emails.
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.
