Re: [IMail Forum] Imail, Declude, AV on Monday 3:32:18 PM
Read my email. I did not say that. I stated the CTO of Ipswitch
contacted me by email, to his credit. We have communicated ideas
without flaming and I hope they listen. I have no interest in
Declude beyond being a happy customer. Count me in as a 'Declude
Guy'. Nothing has been more important to my Imail server since
I first set it up. As far as I am concerned nothing could be more
'on-topic' here. The proliferation of viruses invading email in
recent years makes this one of the most important topics in this
forum and for Imail. Here is one of my messages from almost two
years ago. Heard absolutely nothing from Imail til years later,
but Scott responded long ago with Declude.

R> we will use the Imail AV, because it was built by IPSwitch and runs with
R> Symantec, a world leader in AV.
R> There is a severe lack of good business in this world, and IPSwitch has
R> always done good by me. When I find a company that works for me,and with me,

R> Perhaps there will come a time when IPSwitch can respond to our posts here
R> just as we do. Until then, I will defend IPSwitch, not for personal gain,
