Kevin,
I may have missed this earlier but will the ability to actually limit the
number of users accounts on a domain when using an external DB be supported
in v9.x?

Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail Feature Requests to Ipswitch...
Hi All,
excellent recommendations.
we're seeing several "per domain" feature requests with both of these (IM &
Calendaring) being near the top - along with as and av. are you looking for
per virtual domain capabilities?
anyone else with feature requests, feel free to send directly to me as well
as, of course, to the forum. we are finalizing and prioritizing items for
upcoming releases. here are a few that several folks have mentioned, in no
particular order:
1. ability to change order that black/white list is processed (many want
white first) 2. ability to disable a domain (and all it's users) without
deleting 3. ability to rename host and change IP address from within IMail
4. Attachment Manager (option to, but not mandatory, to strip off
attachment(s) and replace with a link to the file(s) that have been scanned
for av/as and put on location inside firewall) 5. ListServ Management
(sign-up confirmations, bounce handling, automatic
unsubscriptions)
6. Notifications for full mailboxes (auto email admin or secondary account
of the mailbox that is full) 7. Password Rules (min/max chars, special chars
required or not, auto expiring passwords) 8. Archiving (e.g. domains, users,
lists, mailboxes) 9. A more high-availability/redundant friendly
architecture (e.g. remove dependency on registry) 10. Performance reporting
(e.g. graphical reports on top 10 senders, receivers in emails/bytes, who's
sending the most attachments, who's getting the most spam/viruses, real time
view of how are clients connecting (pop, imap/web), etc.).
feel free to send back comments/feedback.
bye for now,
kg

I SECOND THIS for both IM and Calendaring. As and ISP, we really have no way
to regulate these.

What I would like to see is the shared calendaring working on a per
domain basis. This would be a great thing to sell as an isp. Also has
anyone
looked
at the price of the licensing that Microsoft want if you are hosting on
server 2003 ?

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Upcoming Pricing.
And you'd be a rich man, too, if the market embraced that pricing.
However, value is a major portion of the buying decision.
Many of us have been paying SA for years for a virtually dormant
product. I remember a time when we were begging for 'some' Spam
features and were told it would never happen.
So, now, they want us to fund the R&D effort to make the product
competitive, but before the product is at the level of value to support
such a significant increase.
15-20% of the license price is a relatively common yard stick, and that
extrapolates into a $6K-$8K street price of Unlimited.
Nope. "That dog won't hunt."
It really is too bad that Ipswitch is going to shoot themselves in the
foot again. You would think they would have learned something from the
ICS blunder. Getting a customer is hard, but getting one to come back
is almost impossible . . .
