Applause on the honesty and integrity part! Let's get real, Scott's real problem is your solution not being inline with Declude's pricing model. If it were then he would attack you less.

The above is statement is misleading at best. I've provided you no information. I am not the original source. This is info you gleaned from a short thread on the imail forum - and not from my posts either. So, in order to set the record straight, since you do not verify data that is posted to your web site, I will provide the goods for you. The only tests that "fail" (and I use that term loosley in the context of this sentence) from the www.testvirus.org website are two so-called vulnerabilities: Note: That these tests are *not* virus tests - they are only what some (i.e. not all) consider a vulnerability. A good marketing claim but not by definition, a virus test. Test #24 (non-virus): Test for the "Partial (Fragmented) Vulnerability". This does not include the Eicar virus, however your mail server should still block this since a virus can use this technique to break itself into multiple emails, bypassing virus scanners, and reassembling itself in your inbox. (attachment can be opened by virtually any mail program) Test #25 (non-virus): Attachment with a CLSID extension which may hide the real file extension. This does not include the Eicar virus, however your mail server should still block this since the CLSID technique can be used to hide the true extension of a malicious file. (attachment can be opened by any Windows computer) While both are easy to detect, I simply do not agree with the claim that they are vulnerabilities. There are legit purposes for both. > > > > Unfortunately, marketing people see the world differently than us > > > tech guys.

I said the info on your site related to mxguard was incorrect/misleading and that you should remove it or fix it. You obviousely knew what I was talking about since you replied with "I can see why you don't like it". If you know you are misleading people with bogus 'test cases/results' and fail to see why I wouldn't like them, I don't know what to tell you. Integrity and honesty goes along way. One should take steps to preserve it.
