I fail to see this post as anything but spam. In the archives, you'll see that I've defended the right of posters to market commercial Declude plug-ins or wrappers on this last in the past. I still believe that's totally fine; if you're committed to _using_ Declude _as well as_ making some money from improving it, that's cool. And if it's in response to an OT query in someone's post -- what might be deemed an "opt-in" -- plugging just about anything you manufacture or resell can be okay, within limits (like a single "contact me off-list" response), especially if it comes from a well-known name here on the list. Signatures with pluggy copy also don't rankle me, since they require real posts or replies in order to be seen. But, IMO, having published a Declude add-in for a while, then going off to make money from your own competing products and not participating in the user community, is not an adequate justification for using this list as a marketing list. Just because you'd _like_ the product to have Declude support doesn't mean that it falls legitimately within the Declude user community. I'm sure plenty of us would like our own commercial products to have Declude support, so we could advertise them to another well-known community. But you know what we need much, much more? A stable Declude 3.x that works. A runtime license validation mechanism that doesn't seem suspiciously tied to the uptime of a single remote server. And so on. What we don't need in the short term is another commercial MTA integration. IMail may still have overall price/performance issues as an MTA, but it's a lot more solid than in the past; SmarterMail was more efficient from the get-go, and the Declude/SmarterTools partnership is (we hope) still in force. Brazenly trying to upsell your MTA so that "Barry" will build in support for it is pretty insensitive to what Declude needs now. If you'd been listening to the list lately, you'd know this. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude EVA www.declude.com] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
