Joe, I will back up Matt’s comments. Declude has/is indeed suffering from less than honest/moral individuals/companies and they are correct in taking steps to protect their products and company.   Only the method they are using is being questioned.   Believe me, those of us heavily involved in Imail/Declude are monitoring this issue and voicing our opinions, both publicly and privately.   Lets not throw out the baby with the bath water.   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 7:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [sniffer] Sniffer updates...   Joe, In their defense, I don't think that they necessarily knew any better than to have approached it this way.  I don't necessarily get that the new ownership has worked from the IT side of the business before and understands security and trust as a corporate administrator would, in fact Barry comes from the marketing side of the business and I'm afraid that this is a bit of trial-by-fire.  I expect (hope) that he will get the message and change their ways before this will be released in final format.  Scott didn't have the resources to enforce licensing, and as a business, this is critical to their success.  I have no qualms with that goal.  They didn't intend to violate privacy or functionality, they just overlooked it. The whole IMail debacle is a different story.  Most everyone using Declude on that platform will eventually be switching, and Declude has been more than fair by offering free migrations of their license to a different platform, starting with SmarterMail which is very reasonably priced and seemingly quite responsive to their customers.
