This  is still Microsoft's problem at root, as Scott describes well in
his  DQ  page; the fact that not just NT, but 2K too is affected casts
the usual poor light on MS.

Certainly,  Ipswitch could employ the workarounds that Scott (and some
of  the  rest  of  us)  do  in compiling custom delivery processes and
forking  to SMTP32, but they'd have to figure these out for themselves
using  the  API  documentation. It's a question of waiting for MS' fix
(no  new  dev,  possibly  dangerous  customer service) vs. proactively
developing/recoding/recompiling  around  the issue (new dev/QA effort,
good service practice).

I agree that the latter should have been done, yet I understand why it
keeps  slipping  through  the cracks, especially because theoretically
sound,  cross-platform  code  will  still  suffer from this problem on
Windows  (a  look at advanced systems programming guides will show you
that  this  bug is given essentially no coverage). Some of us know how
to  fix  it,  of course; it's just a question of deciding to hand over
the goods. :)
