I agree with Christophe. There are several things that would make the
product a lot better and useful.
1) An API that would allow for more third-party add-ons, such as SMTP
plugins that would allow for things such as Anti-Virus Plug-Ins and Mail
Filters. (A big concern for our team)
2) An API that would allow the web interface to be moved to ASP, Cold
Fusion, or other webapp platform.
3) Integration with third-party LDAP and RADIUS servers, instead of
proprietary stuff. This would allow for more of a single login feature.
(This is a HUGE ISSUE for us).
4) Integration or API for billing solutions such as Emerald.
I think that if IPSwitch where to add these changes, then their product
would gain serious market share. I know that we would be willing to pay
2x the price for these features. As a developer, I know that if these
changes where made, that I would quickly write about 8 extensions to the
product, such as a new web interface and virus scanner at the SMTP
level.
Thanks,
David Sparkman

Like the web based interface this should be offered by IPSwitch.
It would be a win-win.
1) Having more features more people would buy IMail ---> IPSwitch is
happy...
2) We do not have to spend time building these add-ons ---> We ( the
customers) are happy...
Additionally, if you spend time developing add-ons and Ipswich changes
any
"Interface/Protocol" you have to redo your work ---> wasted time
In short, Ipswich should put some resources together and add:
- A "advanced" web interface ( user friendly with help...etc.. )
- Some basic scripts ( in ASP ? DLL ? or CF ? ) for ISPs to automatic
tasks.
