I have been a customer of IPSwitch, and have been using IMail since version 5. IPSwitch has not earned my business. The DNSBLs have been around for years. IPSwitch says IMail has anti-spam features. I wouldn't call relay for addresses very effective against Spam, just good to prevent getting hijacked by a Spammer. Declude built a Junk Mail add-on, and Len built a gateway to filter Spam, and still IMail did not add real DNSBL support. I couldn't figure that out. If I built an MTA like IMail, and I saw on the news, and heard from my customers about how big a problem Spam was, I would add it to my product. That's called listening to customers. Now I see IPSwitch hustle to get everyone to renew their upgrade subscription before IMail's price goes through the roof, only to be 6 months down the road with a still too buggy IMail 7 to even be released as a product in the first place. I'm a problem solver. I see several problems here, so I took the add-on PostfixGate gateway server, and the PostfixGate Anti-Spam database I developed, and I decided to add IMAP/POP3 support, and a scalable list server to PostfixGate's server. PostfixGate's Anti-Spam database is not an add-on to IMail, you're right, it's an add-on to Declude's Junk Mail, and Unix MTA's. It's not a competing product. PostfixGate's gateway server used in fighting Spam, with or without the PostfixGate Anti-Spam database, is an add-on just like IMGate would be, so why did IPSwitch refuse to list it as a 3rd party add-on? It's not a competing product. PostfixGate's server with IMAP/POP3 services, and a scalable list server would be considered both an add-on and a competing product. Take a look at how PostfixGate has integrated a total solution into a single server. Why couldn't IPSwitch do that with IMail? I'm not stopping IPSwitch from integrating anything, and I can't earn IPSwitch customer's business if IPSwitch is taking care of their customers. I should point out that I have been a regular contributor for a long time to this list, and not as active as Scott, Len, and Ron, but I've been busy trying to solve problems just the same, again problems caused by IPSwitch for me and many others. I was also planning to develop a management solution for IMail, but after I saw what IPSwitch was pulling I thought twice. We'll see how IPSwitch does over the next 6 months. My suggestion, take a magnifying glass to customer service, and pricing. Also, keep your employees off of your list unless they are here to give support like Daniel Donnelly provided so long ago.
