Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude 4.3

David, What makes the good folk at Declude and CommTouch believe that there is any revenue to share?  For the majority of service providers that are Declude customers, spam blocking is a 100% cost center, and for the few that offer a gateway service, none of us are getting rich, in fact the astounding greed that software companies have presented us with in the last 5 years combined with competitive pressures of cheap or even free services has commoditized much of what we are doing. I have absolutely no revenue to share with Declude or CommTouch outside of reasonable software licensing fees.  The only revenue that I share is with those that generate business for my company.  If I get rich off of doing what I am doing, it will be primarily the result of my blood, sweat and tears, otherwise there would be 10,000 others just like me. Matt David Barker wrote: There are restrictions on CommTouch being used by Service Providers we had to ensure that NEW customers (ie. Service Providers After 1 June 06) understand the licensing restrictions. Current Service Providers (ie. Before 1 June 06) are under no restrictions for using Declude; only the CommTouch add-in component. However we have managed to come to an agreement with CommTouch to enable our legacy customers (ie. Service Providers Before 1 June 06) to take advantage of CommTouch under a revenue share program, this program is not being forced onto legacy customers but will be an opportunity for us to help you increase revenues in your business, by providing you with new product like the Declude Gateway which would be independent of Imail/SmarterMail and will include CommTouch.

As of June 1, 2006, ISP's and other service providers are not permitted to use Declude software to clean and forward mail to customers unless a separate revenue share agreement has been established with Declude. http://www.declude.com/Articles.asp?ID=121 Is Declude trying to put us out of business? We pay for the software and now have to pay them some of your meager profits?

I see that its downloadable in my account, but it would be nice to know what I'm getting before I install it, especially the new Commtouch stuff. The "Restrictions" listed next to the Add Commtouch section are especially confusing. https://www.declude.com/articles.asp?ID=205 Who would use Declude and not fit the definitions of the restrictions? Based on my reading of the Restrictions, nobody who uses Declude will ever be able to use Commtouch. If I am misreading this, would someone please explain it to me?
