Matt,
Managed services is the fastest growing segment of this industry, CAGR
forecasted at 25% per year through 2009. While the industry may seem
commoditized, you have pointed out that businesses like Postini offer a
poor product but are projecting $100,000,000 in revenues. So I'd say there
is plenty of revenue to cannibalize if Declude works with Service Providers
to empower them to offer premium services and help market and promote those
services. This is the idea behind our Service Provider Program. I don't
think we're being greedy, but rather trying to get creative and help the
small guys compete against the big guys.
If you have any questions or would like to speak to someone about the
program please call or email:

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.

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.

I guess we all missed the following paragraph in the license
agreement:
3.2.6 sub-license, rent, sell, lease, distribute, or otherwise
transfer the
Licensed Program save as provided under this End-User License
Agreement
unless You obtain a separate License from Declude, Inc. for such
purposes
(for example, You may not embed the Licensed Program into another
application and then distribute such to third parties unless You
first
acquire an OEM License from Declude, Inc.). 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.

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?

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude 4.3
I guess someone is going to make an official announcement
today about
Declude 4.3?
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?
Gary
