Hi Don, Good points, well taken!
Overall, our efforts are absolutely concentrated on quality. The switch to ICS packaging was not a high point for Ipswitch and the 2006.00 release was not where it needed to be. We have concentrated on this for the past 9 months leading up to 2006.1 which we believe addressed the majority of the reported items, BUT certainly not all. If there are other issues or parity items (features that existed in 8.22 but not in 2006.xx), please post here or contact me directly and we'll prioritize to fix as soon as possible, and possibly we can get some into the upcoming 2006.2 release. We demo our work to the public every 30 days and that's a great forum for customers to shape and prioritize what they want to see done/fixed. If you want to participate in these reviews (note: does not require you to do any installs, just participate via webex), please let Jason Benton know and he'll send you all the credentials. The items we are focusing on now for 2006.2 are defects reported through various forums with a focus on Quality and Performance. There is always some amount of infrastructure work and even new customer requested features being worked on but again Quality and Performance are key areas of focus for the upcoming release. Here is a short list. QUALITY: SMTP issue Attachment issues Web messaging performance Safari and 64bit OS support Server issues with External DB - Rename, Add overwrite, global changes Premium Anti-spam issues PERFORMANCE: POP Performance (ability to set limits on how frequently an end user can POP) Efficiency (making it easier to do global user deletes and to add a user to multiple lists/aliases at once) Bye for now, kg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Brown Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 12:30 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Update for SMTP vulnerability in 8.22... Kevin, We need a stable release of 2006 with at least the same, working functionality of 8.22. We don't care a thing about new racing stripes or any other gadgets. Just get us back to square one, so all of us can upgrade without getting killed by our customers. It has been about a year and 2006 is neither stable or as functional at 8.22. Being a small company is not a plausible excuse for this lack of performance. FWIW Saturday, October 28, 2006, 10:06:27 AM, Gil Gomes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: GG> New stuff????
