Scott,
I have yet to impliment the upgrade to version 8.0 of Imail, but am
still a little fuzzy on how Ipswitch's anti-SPAM feature integrates with
Declude's Junkmail (which I now have). Does it add to, detract, provide
greater functionality?? I want to make sure that all my bases are covered
before I go to the upgrade. Any thoughts on upgrading the Killer Web Mail
templates for Imail v. 8.0 would also be helpful. Thanks for your help.
Jim
