Hi Bruce,

Yes, we are definitely listening and hear you loud and clear;-) And thanks
on the comments about the new feature of stripping HTML and passing through
only plain text.  As you noted, has several side effects including higher
security and lower b/w costs.

Sounds like there are 2 feature requests -

1. Deliver mail if the To (or CC or BCC) Address(es) is in ALL CAPS or
partial caps
2. Option to block email where Subject or Body is ALL CAPS

Does this sound accurate?

bye for now,

kg

Mike,

Why would you want to "fix" this?  It solves 1/2 of the equation of people
SHOUTING in e-mail messages.  I have users at several surgery centers who no
longer know what the lower case subset of the alphabet looks like because
they have irrevocably locked their machines into CAPS LOCK.  No matter how
much I try to explain that they are SHOUTING at people all the time, they
just keep on typing as if I didn't exist.

Now if we could figure out a way to prevent the delivery of messages (both
originating and received) wherein the body of the message was typed in ALL
CAPS from being delivered, we would improve those user's e-mail social
skills significantly.

**** Ipswitch, are you listening, this is another feature request.  A "NO
ALL CAPS" option in the content filtering would be VERY nice!  :) ****

Just my 2 cents worth.

PS: Thanks, Ipswitch, for enabling the ability to completely strip HTML
based content from incoming messages in the latest version of Imail.  Both
the State of Illinois, several universities within Illinois (staff e-mail
only), and several of the Chicago area hospitals have recently enabled this
feature on their incoming messages and now reject all HTML content sent to
their e-mail users, passing only the TEXT portion of the message on to the
intended recipient.  (Note: Most of the above referenced groups are not
using Imail for their e-mail servers.)

In conversations with their IT departments, I am told this has significantly
lowered the incidence of viruses received by those organizations - in one
case by more than 80%.  After hearing about this from another hospital, at
least one of my medical center customers has requested that this feature be
enabled.  It's also a significant bandwidth savings!

I have noticed in the logs that any mail that is sent to a valid user where
the sender uses all capital letters in the recipients address is refused as
sender unknown.  Although the email address is valid.

How can I fix this?
