As an Imail Corporate Mail Admin, I think it's ok to a point. I look for items like this assit in managing our email system. I found declude via this list.
BUT, as someone stated earlier, everyone has products or utilities they've wrote to help maintain the systems. We need to limit how much is said. A quick OT and SMALL blurb saying "hey there a new version out" and a link leading to his web site would sufice, leaving out the specifics and prices. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darin Cox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 8:54 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] IPlus Info Browser v4.2 Released > Except for the one last month, I haven't seen any of his posts, or I > probably would have said something. > > I still say this is a support forum, not a marketing list.
