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.

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.
