As a small design firm that hosts its own clients, I bought an unlimited Imail 6.0x license for a variety of reasons: ease of setup/maintenance being one of them (and the existence of the HKSI add-in templates being another). It certainly wasn't the cheapest solution, but I've always been happy with it and have never needed formal tech support.
The release of 7.0x, with its revised pricing and new tiers, seemed to indicate that Ipswitch wasn't interested in my class of customer. The stability of the release and its apparent lack of meaningful new features contributed to my decision not to upgrade. To say the pricing for the AV solution takes Ipswitch further in the big-guys-only direction is an understatement. Unfortunate. However, they have the right to make the business decisions they feel are right for them. Me too. I'm installing F-Prot right now to make sure it works right. Then I'm ordering Declude. The thought of spending some $6k on anti-virus s/w never even entered my mind. $1000 I'd consider strongly, but the current pricing model is ... well ... it defies polite description, actually. --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Sheldon Koehler Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 7:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re[4]: [IMail Forum] New IMail Anti-Virus ad Declude > Second: Todd.

I do agree with you Bob! I also have a theory about Harry and Jimbo. Ipswitch use to allow techs to take part in the day to day discussions on this list. That was back in the days when we all had good things to say about your support department. Too bad management had to change their tune. If they would allow the crew back on the list, things COULD change for the better. And maybe your fellow employees would not be tempted to post incognito. As for me, I still have a valid support contract for 3 of your products. But the fact that we are still running Imail 6.06 should tell you how much faith I have in Ipswitch right now.
