iMS 2.2 is almost ready for release. We're just waiting on the manual update, some last-minute testing and the new code for our key server (which is rewritten in ColdFusion and runs on port 80 instead of the non-standard ports that we use now - 81 and 8888). Anyway, we're looking at a release in maybe one week.
When iMS 2.2 is installed as an upgrade to an existing server please be aware that the existing software key will no longer work in iMS 2.2. The new version of iMS uses an entirely new key and we decided that we would not support the old-style keys in the new version. The installer will detect and save an old-style key to the registry so that you can restore it if you need to reinstall iMS 2.1 or lower. The server that you install 2.2 on will need to have access to tcp/ip port 80 so please make sure that this port is not blocked when you perform the upgrade. New iMS 2.2 features: - Better performance when using other servers for mail relay. - Ability to choose round-robin selection of the outgoing servers. - Better RBL support - Integrated bounce server. This server is available for all iMS versions when the SMTP server is not opted for (as in iMS-SE). This bounce server is a special version of the SMTP server that is used for processing bounced mails. We will also be starting two new policies regarding upgrades and support. Upgrades: All current iMS users will receive free upgrades up to iMS 2.5. After that you will need to have an upgrade subscription in order to apply an upgrade to an existing system. iMS 2.5 will be fully supported for one year after release for any client that chooses not to upgrade beyond that version (meaning that bug fixes but not feature upgrades will be available). Support: We will continue to provide free support via this email list and installation support via this list and by phone during our normal business hours. We will also be providing paid support for clients that need additional support. This will include priority email and 8x5 or 24x7 support for iMS. Please let me know if there are any questions.
