I'm stating, from community and direct support experience, that most (51%+) people do not. Therefore, the enhancements designed for IMail MXs are indeed relevant and necessary. Whether tabling official Mac support (Firefox on Mac evidently works) was a good idea is another question entirely, and shouldn't be mixed up in this. In many of our minds, it shouldn't have been an either/or scenario, but that decision was made. Developers, and marketers, make seemingly out-of-joint decisions like that all the time. Still, I don't know if they looked at, or estimated, pure numbers, but there's no way that 51%+ of webmail end-users are on Macs. If you did absolutely have to make a choice, then, the impact of the SMTPD improvements will be felt by a _much_ larger number of users (since POP3- and IMAP4-only users, regardless of OS, will also reap the benefits of a more efficient anti-spam engine). Of course, I know there's a difference between "not seeing improvements" and "utterly unable to use the new version." But I think your anger is misplaced given the very real utility of the MX improvements. > Things like Brightmail have the ability to throttle the connections > for you, but it can't use that feature with Imail as they can't talk > to each other for Brightmail's needs. Unfortunate, but let's call that what it is: a Brightmail bug! They shouldn't claim to be LDAP-compatible if they can't log in to an OpenLDAP, a standards-compliant LDAPv3 server. My ldap2aliases script uses a standard LDAP API to talk to IMail's OpenLDAP binary, with no problems. Other LDAP clients also are fine with it. Only a janky, half-implemented LDAP lookup has problems with it. Not Ipswitch's fault. > I know it's only the first release, but if the existing features > doesn't work first go, it doesn't fill you with too much confidence. I agree. If the webmail doesn't blow you away from IE on a PC, then you're going to get discouraged. I hope you can resolve this. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
