Anyone who was the JM list only should not have been effected as they were
not notified of a release.

I think Matt made a good point that Declude should start without the .dll
and write an error message to the log, I have added this to the dev list.

My only two cents on this:

If I were David Barker I would have:

- Pulled out the bad package

- Rolled a new package (with an incremented version number) with the missing
DLL, tested the package succesfully and posted it to the website for

The rest is so much sturm und drang.

So far this issue has effected 2 people. John and Dave. If there were 
10's of others I can see your point however I am not emailing 4500 
users when this is no longer an issue. It is because of people on 
these lists that provide us with good feedback, input and their 2

Hi David,

Thank you for addressing the AVG problem as quickly as you did.

I also think Declude is doing a good stuff on the Virus and Spam lists 
and I have no problem how yesterday's communication was handled on the 
virus list.


However, I thought I had received a direct HTML formatted customer 
notice, with logos as such (not just via the regular virus list) 
urging the install of the new version (but I no longer have those 
emails). So I had understood Dave that he was expecting the warning - 
bad install email to be sent through that same distribution.


I only hope that I don't remember wrong and wasn't looking at some 
older notice.

Andy

Andy and Dave,

I had posted to the virus list as a courtesy giving everyone on the virus
list the heads up before actually notifying all our customers. And yes I did
post to the virus list again once John had identified the issue and it was
corrected immediately, this all happened within a 25 minute time frame, I
think it is unfortunate that perhaps you downloaded the Imail version during
that window, and were upgrading from a version prior to the last release
4.3.40, that being said I do understand that it was annoying :) and I
sincerely apologize for the inconvience.

John,



I think the point Dave is making is:



They did notify all clients individually about the availability of the new
version, urging them to act immediately!

However, when they managed to release an incomplete install, they did NOT
send out a second notice to that exact same group to warn those who were
trusting enough to follow their initial urging to upgrade that they better
download a second time.



In fact, if their customer portal has a last login field in their
database, then they could have identified anyone who had accessed their
customer portal that day and even restricted the follow-up warning to that
group.



I feel Dave's pain: I was lucky that I didn't have time earlier. Otherwise I
could have been in the same boat. And by the time the installation failed -
and NO mail was being delivered anymore, with customers up in arms about it
- my last concern would have been catching up on the chatter on mailing
lists.

I did so, and the upgrade went fine this time.

The issue was corrected prior to notifying all customers, and therefore we
did not need to send out a secondary email.

Hi David,

Thank you for addressing the AVG problem as quickly as you did.

I also think Declude is doing a good stuff on the Virus and Spam lists and I
have no problem how yesterday's communication was handled on the virus list.

However, I thought I had received a direct HTML formatted customer notice,
with logos as such (not just via the regular virus list) urging the install
of the new version (but I no longer have those emails). So I had understood
Dave that he was expecting the warning - bad install email to be sent
through that same distribution.

I only hope that I don't remember wrong and wasn't looking at some older
notice.

Best Regards,
Andy

Andy and Dave,
 
I had posted to the virus list as a courtesy giving everyone on the virus
list the heads up before actually notifying all our customers. And yes I did
post to the virus list again once John had identified the issue and it was
corrected immediately, this all happened within a 25 minute time frame, I
think it is unfortunate that perhaps you downloaded the Imail version during
that window, and were upgrading from a version prior to the last release

John,

 

I think the point Dave is making is:

 

They did notify all clients individually about the availability of the new
version, urging them to act immediately!

However, when they managed to release an incomplete install, they did NOT
send out a second notice to that exact same group to warn those who were
trusting enough to follow their initial urging to upgrade that they better
download a second time.

 

In fact, if their customer portal has a last login field in their
database, then they could have identified anyone who had accessed their
customer portal that day and even restricted the follow-up warning to that
group.

 

I feel Dave's pain: I was lucky that I didn't have time earlier. Otherwise I
could have been in the same boat. And by the time the installation failed -
and NO mail was being delivered anymore, with customers up in arms about it
- my last concern would have been catching up on the chatter on mailing
lists.

 

Best Regards,

Andy

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Warning re: DECLUDE - CRITICAL VIRUS SCANNING UPDATE

2007-04-17 Thread Colbeck, Andrew
My only two cents on this:

If I were David Barker I would have:

- Pulled out the bad package

- Rolled a new package (with an incremented version number) with the
missing DLL, tested the package succesfully and posted it to the website
for downloaded

- Checked my shopping cart or web logs and found out which customers had
downloaded the bad version of the package

- Contacted only those customers by phone and email; when there is an
email problem, email is a lousy communications channel

I would have updated the Whats New web page.

I *may* then also notify both support mailing lists.

The rest is so much sturm und drang.


Andrew.

 not emailing 4500 users when this is no longer an issue. It

 - Pulled out the bad package

Did this.

- Rolled a new package (with an incremented version number) with the
missing DLL, tested the package successfully and posted it to the website
for downloaded

Did this although no need for an incremented version number as it was not
related to declude but rather the installer and it effected only Imail users
who had not upgraded to the last declude build

- Checked my shopping cart or web logs and found out which customers had
downloaded the bad version of the package

Ok I could have done this.

- Contacted only those customers by phone and email; when there is an
email problem, email is a lousy communications channel

So far it's only John and Dave

I would have updated the Whats New web page.

Anyone who was the JM list only should not have been effected as they were

I think Matt made a good point that Declude should start without the .dll

My only two cents on this:

If I were David Barker I would have:

- Pulled out the bad package

- Rolled a new package (with an incremented version number) with the missing
DLL, tested the package succesfully and posted it to the website for
downloaded

- Checked my shopping cart or web logs and found out which customers had
downloaded the bad version of the package

- Contacted only those customers by phone and email; when there is an email
problem, email is a lousy communications channel

I would have updated the Whats New web page.

I *may* then also notify both support mailing lists.

The rest is so much sturm und drang.

 So far this issue has effected 2 people. John and Dave. If there were 
 10's of others I can see your point however I am not emailing 4500 
 users when this is no longer an issue. It is because of people on 
 these lists that provide us with good feedback, input and their 2

 David,
 
 I normally do not put in my 2 cents worth to general discussions, but 
 would like to this time just to help clarify the intent, as I see it, 
 of the original request.  Although I am a pretty avid (sp?) user of 
 the forums/groups, I cannot imagine EVERYONE that is on the email 
 distribition list is a frequent visitor to such.  Those that are not 
 will not learn of the mistakenly left out DLL file unless another 
 email blast goes out.

 Hi David,
 
 Thank you for addressing the AVG problem as quickly as you did.
 
 I also think Declude is doing a good stuff on the Virus and Spam lists 
 and I have no problem how yesterday's communication was handled on the 
 virus list.
 
 However, I thought I had received a direct HTML formatted customer 
 notice, with logos as such (not just via the regular virus list) 
 urging the install of the new version (but I no longer have those 
 emails). So I had understood Dave that he was expecting the warning - 
 bad install email to be sent through that same distribution.
 
 I only hope that I don't remember wrong and wasn't looking at some 
 older notice.
 
 Best Regards,
 Andy

2007-04-17 Thread Dave Doherty

Hi David-

I'm glad that there we just two of us affected by this problem. Not so glad 
that I was one of the two, but somebody had to be there.   :-(


Anyway, so we are totally clear, here's the timeline as I experienced it. I 
do not subscribe to the AVG list, so I did not receive the prior 
notification.


Around 5:15PM Monday, I received the attached email directly in my inbox - 
not through any of the lists. I assumed it was sent to all Declude 
customers.


I don't normally install updates right away, but in this case, I was waiting 
for a call, so decided to go ahead with the upgrade.


Probably around 5:20 - 5:30, I accessed declude.com and downloaded the 
upgrade package. I installed it on my server. I got a message stating that a 
DLL (pc-something, i think) could not be found in the server environment 
paths. A second pop-up stated that decludeproc failed to start and I should 
call support. It did not offer a phone number, which would have been very 
helpful. I called the number on the Declude website, got a message that you 
were closed for the day, followed by a list of options. I punched the option 
for support and got a recording that said I should leave a message.


I noticed that the path to the install given in the installer was C:\Imail\, 
not C:\Imail\Declude\. I thought that might have had something to do with 
it, but there was no way to change the path.


I searched the server for the DLL and did not find it anywhere, so clearly 
it was missing from the package. Since this was obviously going nowhere, I 
repatched to the earlier version and rebooted the box. It worked. I 
subsequently got word from John that the download had been fixed, and I 
installed the new version.


Suggestions:

For me:
- Don't ever do an upgrade after hours. I know this, but I didn't heed my 
own wisdom.


For you:
- Don't send out a release after hours and then put the phones on voice 
mail.
- Put the support phone number right in the pop-up. Maybe even a special 
phone number, since anyone who sees that popup is in big trouble right now.
- Before you release a package, install on a real system directly from the 
package you about to unleash on the world.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Warning re: DECLUDE - CRITICAL VIRUS SCANNING UPDATE

2007-04-17 Thread Matt

David,

I'm pretty much with Andrew on this, but I generally appreciate the 
speed of your response and the fact that you are willing to own up to 
your mistakes.


I don't ever expect anything to be mistake free, but I have a suggestion 
that would seem to make sense and help you to avoid confusion and ire in 
the future.  Just simply reevaluate how you do versioning of your code.


For instance, you currently are distributing version 4.3.46 where  4 
is the major version, 3 is the minor version, and 46 is generally 
thought of as the interim or patch level.  My recommendation would be 
for you to only introduce new functionality or significant changes in 
minor or major versions.  Before any minor or major version release, you 
should have both betas and release candidates, i.e. 4.4.1b then 4.4.1rc, 
and then when you release it, it would be 4.4.0.  New functionality 
would start appearing in the betas.  The release candidates are 
optional, and might be reserved only for major version changes where 
significant changes have been made, and it would give you a way to ramp 
up your experience with dealing with support and unforeseen 
circumstances.  Since the AV signatures changed in this latest version, 
you should have moved up to a new minor version number in order to alert 
people to the importance of the release.  I would have also incremented 
when you introduced regex functionality.


I would recommend that only bugs be patched within the interim or patch 
levels, and that you let customers know that these interims have not 
been through a release candidate testing, may contain errors, and should 
only be used if someone is looking for resolution of an issue.


So if you followed this more normalized versioning methodology, you 
would have released 4.4.1b yesterday morning, and then 4.4.2b when you 
found the issue with the DLL omission.  Then in a few more days when you 
are confident that things are stable, release 4.4.0.


Matt

UPDATE

I attempted to install this update on my server. The package is apparently
missing a DLL. The decludeproc service would not start, and the pop-up said
to contact support. The update email was issued at 5:15 PM, and Declude was
closed. I left a message.

 

I got back up and running by reinstalling the previous update and rebooting.

 

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT install this update until Declude can
figure out what's wrong with it!

This was right before they changed the update to include the dll. The new
update is around 80k larger. Try it again.

FYI, this was resolved about 3 hours earlier and was reported on the Declude
Virus list.

 

As others have reported, re-download the upgrade installer and the missing
file will be there.

I did so, and the upgrade went fine this time.

So why did they restrict the distibution of the mod notice to the AV list when 
they sent individual emails to notify of the initial upgrade?

This is more than annoying...

The upgrade that came out today, 4.3.46, was specifically and pointedly only
to correct a problem with the built-in AVG scanner that was created by a
change AVG recently made.
