This is really getting old, I'm one of the "lurkers" mentioned earlier, I very rarely send messages to the list since there are several people here who know sooooo much more about Imail then I do. I just read everything so that I can try and learn it better since every time I've called Ipswitch for support I got no where.
Once again you felt it was necessary to flame a company you obviously have it in for. I don't use any Declude products, so I have no stake in Declude, and I won't use Ipswitch's over-priced AV solution. I don't use Declude simply because I have a cheap boss who won't release any money for email virus scanning on the server side, BUT, if he did you can bet that it would be Declude, both for price and level of support. Not only do they fully support their own product, they also help out anyone with Imail problems that posts to the list, unlike Ipswitch, who owns the freaking list. Don't get me wrong, I like Imail, but Ipswitch's focus seems to be way wrong these days. Just look at the features they added for v7, calendaring and a contact list, neither of which is compatible with anything but itself? Or how about a spell checker that from what I've seen isn't very good, and you HAVE TO put a copy of it in each and every host's folders to make it work for those hosts? I think their time would have been better spent fixing problems instead of adding mostly useless features that don't work well. Your constant flaming of Declude will only do one thing, make them reluctant to post messages here that help A LOT of people, it won't stop anyone from buying their software, all the users here recommend it each and every time someone asks about AV software for their Imail box. Or is it your purpose to try and do just that? At least the guys from Delcude's messages are constructive and helpful, unlike ANY I've seen from you, yours have all been either flames or half ass'ed apologies when you where confronted with blatant errors you've posted. Funny how you just "happened" to start using the list right when they released their AV solution, and have been bashing the "competition" ever since. Things that make you go hmmmm.....
