I don't think it is negligent. This is a relatively new exploit found very
recently and Imail have released a fix quite quickly.

I take the view that if you use outdated software without an SA then you are
leaving yourself vulnerable and you have to be at least partially
responsible for what follows - it is your implementation.
Pressure Ipswitch to bring out a fix for previous veriosn by all means, I
think they should but don't expect them to do so.

Thx for this update, and wow, how a software can be useless after only 1,5
years!? This negligently attitude is not more acceptable. I will not pay
1000 USD and have next year after SA expired again a security problem. Is
this a new manner to force to upgrade?
