Well, Tanya & Support & the entire IMail team (any anyone who is seriously
thinking about buying/using this product in a production environment) ...
today we landed on the ORBS black list because of the IMail SMTP AUTH
problem (had to turn SMTP AUTH off since our upgrade to 6.x caused
condierable instability. So, we try to rely on the relay for domain only
option, and BAM! we are blacklisted...)
Let's see, turn SMTP AUTH off, and we get blacklisted, and many of our users
cant use the mail server. Turn SMTP AUTH on and it will soon fail, and many
of our users can't use the mail server.
Every Ipswitch user take note here: If you are needing SMTP AUTH, you
cannot rely on IMail to function properly, and by turning it off, you risk
the danger of having your mail server blacklisted by using IMail.
Ipswitch, You keep telling me that everyone is working on it you are and
thanking me for my patience, but you have KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER
A YEAR. (yes, that is me yelling in desparation) ... How much patience are
we supposed to have?! Are you REALLY working on a fix? Or are you just
saying that you are "considering options" to us while you continue to back
burner this issue?
We have *SERIOUS* problems from using your mail server. Why does every
other SMTP AUTH system that I am aware of on the market work, when your
software fails! How are we to solve this URGENT problem? PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
Kelly Britt
