1. Unless an add-on specifically for Imail is announced, how do we know
about it in the first place?
2. The number of replies complaining about the post far out way the post
itself.
3. There may be admins who are not current customers of that product, and
therefore are not on any kind of e-mail list he has, but who would become a
customer of that product with a new/improved feature. But how are they
supposed to find out about it?

The post offering a sales pitch with a discount was not appropriate IMO. A
simple post notifying the list of a new/improved product for Imail is
appropriate. I would actually like to see Ipswitch make the announcement of
a new/improved product now listed on the add-on page, but unfortunately the
current marketing management has decided not to take as much of a hands-on
customer service roll in regards to this list as the previous management
did.
