Forget the reverse-engineering mumbo-jumbo. If you have proven the DoS vulnerability using real-world reproducible and deployment-appropriate results (i.e. you can't imply that any Internet-based attack will succeed if you are generating a load that could only be passed at LAN speeds), and are saying that you have attempted to go the private route and been unsuccessful, *and* you are not simply attempting to slur a product that you've grown tired of, then by all means make the whole thing public, rather than using innuendo. Last I read in the archives, you said "[I]f I try to relay through the IMail server from an IP that is not allowed to, then SMTPd32.exe takes a little amount of time to respond. During the wait, it spikes up to 100% CPU usage." I don't know if this is the core of your current complaint, but the symptom you describe in that sentence is not one that I can reproduce. > IMHO IMail is not a bad piece of software for the right ppl, but it > is very resource hungry Fair comparison, please, including OS? > , expensive, Fair comparison, please, including OS? > and there are better alternatives if you have the skills.

I feel it's unprofessional to post negative rhetoric without backing information; if you're saying you've done your own competitive research and have no need to publish it, there's no reason to assume that Ipswitch has not done the same. -Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
