I agree that they should offer a patch, however...
Let's compare this to the auto industry. If you drive a old Ford and a safety defect is discovered Ford will fix that safety defect for free. An exploit in a mail server is no different, in my opinion, than a safety defect in a vehicle.
safety defects cost lives, mailservers do not
Nobody is asking Ipswitch to offer new features for free, but I believe it is their moral, and probably legal obligation to provide a hot fix to correct any exploits.
whoa, you've never read a EULA, have you? They don't have to actually produce working software.
The people that bought Imail 8.15, or any other version for that matter, paid good money for a product that should work as advertised. That means no defects or exploits.
Have you ever produced something free of defects or exploits? If it runs on an MS OS, probably not.
The purpose of upgraded versions should be to add new features, not to force people to pay more to get bugs fixed or exploits plugged.
That's true, but folks seem to have missed the fact that they didn't /produce/ the upgrade version to fix a bug. The bug was discovered and they've chosen to only fix the latest version.
