OK, now I'm confused! I'm sure David is extremely knowledgable on how
Imail processes messages but his statement: "Not sure what all the
commotion is about Declude not working with 8.2+,
mxGuard works with all version of IMail since 5.x, one would assume
Declude
would work as well since the same IMail interfaces are used." really
confuses me!
Does Imail really use this "multithreaded SMTP" engine or not?
If so does it really effect how Declude or MXGuard would process a
message?
IMail hands message over to the 'delivery application' - which by default is
smtp32.exe. The default smtp32.exe hands the message back to the queue
manager for final processing and delivery.
When using an Add-on such as mxGuard, Declude, or the Spamc hook I've seen
listed here, the same process is followed; 1) Imail hands message to add-on
(configured as the delivery application), 2) The add-on or delivery
application does what it needs to do to/with the Q and D file pair.
Depending upon the product, the add-on might employ some form of queue
management to avoid overwhelming the server, 3) Ultimately, the add-on
will hand the message back over to IMail's smtp32.exe for final processing
and delivery or it may delete/quarantine depending upon the product.
No matter what product is used, you've got the same hand-off of messages
form imail and the same requirement to hand the message back to IMail if you
wan tit delivered. Has been since Imail 5.x up to and including the current
release.

Declude seems to have gone down hill rapidly since the 1.X versions... I
see nothing but reports of major problems in the 2.x but less so with the
3.x versions. I do not intend to participate in the Declude fiasco, but I
wonder why all the upgrading if it's not necessary. If Declude 1.82 would
work fine with Imail 8.2 or 2006 it would seel like a LOT of people have
been mislead.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Recent 8.2 patches do they affect 8.15?
Hello? Ipswitch? Anyone.....?
I have gateways running IMail 8.15 with Declude 1.82. Apparently I
can't upgrade IMail without
upgradingDeclude. I have no intention of upgrading Declude right now
because my configuration is
stable and Declude 3.x is not. Is 8.15 vulnerable or not?
Not sure what all the commotion is about Declude not working with 8.2+,
mxGuard works with all version of IMail since 5.x, one would assume
Declude would work as well since the same IMail interfaces are used.
