Thanks for the heads-up Gary. I just chimed in on the forum thread letting people know that they can get Declude from us for free if they wanted a temp solution until ST can assess and fix the issue if needed.

The problem is it is very subtle and may not be noticeable to an administrator right away. SmarterTools shuts down over the weekend, so they may not even be aware of the problem yet. Declude seems to be a decent tool for catching this problem, but only if you have your outbound spamchecks configured for it. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <community@mailsbestfriend.com>.
