But...I'm curious as to why this new Vulnerability feature is a PRO only one. If this is truly a feature that "will cut down significantly on the impact of future viruses in the time before new virus definitions are available" that sounds like a feature that should be implemented for ALL Declude users.
The reason is that this is protection that goes above and beyond what is normally expected of a virus scanner. Given that the Pro version usually costs a lot less than most other mailserver AV programs, we feel that it is reasonable to limit such features to the Pro version.
However, we do continue to make sure that any basic functionality that is required of a mailserver virus scanner be available in all versions (so no virus that the AV software can detect should get through even if you are using the Lite version).
We are a local government agency that has need of sending/receiving encrypted zip files (due to security reasons) but I have to block all of them due to the only option available to us standard version users. BANEXT EZIP. Along with the BANZIPEXTS and BANEZIPEXTS being Pro only, you are tying the hand of us smaller organizations that do not have the means to spend the extra $400 for the pro version.
In this case, we have the "BANEXT EZIP" option available to allow blocking of the viruses that AV programs won't be able to detect.
What I would recommend in your case is a new policy that encrypted .ZIP files must use an extension other than .ZIP (until viruses start asking their victims to rename the files first!). That way, you will be protected against new threats and meet your financial requirements.
Are you trying to add more features to the Pro version to sweeten the deal or is this just an Interim version issue that will eventually make it into the standard version?
The BANEXT EZIP will remain in all versions; the BANZIPEXTS/BANEZIPEXTS will likely stay in the Pro version (but a final decision has not yet been made).
