True, but I still give credit to Ipswitch, despite their incredibly slow product development pace, of getting the dictionary attack countermeasure deployed ahead of what they originally planned. The attacks were killing a lot of us.
In fact, the lack of tarpitting in v.8 was the final straw that forced us to migrate to a competing mail server. Average CPU usage immediately went from 50% to 1%. In fact, I recently did the first reboot (for MS patches) with the production server--after 96 days of continuous uneventful uptime. Total system memory usage remained rock stable (+-30MB) the entire time. The next release of Imail must be fully-featured and bullet-proof, otherwise I can't see them surviving against increasingly superior competition.
