IMail Forum Members: As I see many of you know we are in the process of releasing IMail Server 8.10. I tried to incorporate any of the questions I have seen from earlier today. If I missed anything let me know.
For this release we are focusing on four main areas: Collaboration Work more effectively as an organization through the use of collaboration tools that allow you to quickly and easily distribute up-to-date information. Increased access to information means users can spend more time working and less time scheduling meetings and distributing information. Scheduling a meeting with a small group of people can now take a minute of your time instead of hours. Easily share documents and collect feedback across different teams and organizations. Every user in your organization can have updated details for common contacts without needing to distribute a new contact list or update individual address books, ensuring your personal interactions are on-time, accurate and personalized. Shared Calendaring and the Global Address List will be available through a new add-on to IMail Server, Bynari Insight Connector for IMail Server. Free/Busy Scheduling in Microsoft Outlook, also know as group scheduling, will be available through WS_FTP Server. The Bynari Insight Connector is a plug-in to Microsoft Outlook and will be licensed on a per seat basis. List price will start at $15 per user. These products will be available at the end of April. Anti-spam Ipswitch is continuing to advance in the fight against spam by defeating the latest spammer tricks and improving the effectiveness of white lists. The addition of word normalization can dramatically increase the effectiveness of anti-spam filters by stopping tricks such as putting periods between each letter in an attempt to fool spam filters (i.e. r.e.f.i.n.a.n.c.e). Word normalization removes any non-alphabetic characters within a word prior to applying Bayesian Statistical Filtering or Phrase Filtering. The same phrase list can now be applied to both the subject and body, decreasing administration time. New subject modification allows end-users to control what happens to spam and streamlined whitelisting provides a comfort level that lets users get back to work without worrying about missed email. We have also added the ability to search for deceptive text which is when the text is encoded. For example, Refinance actually displays the word 'Refinance'. Anti-virus The addition of a second anti-virus offering allows Ipswitch to meet the anti-virus needs of all organizations regardless of price constraints. Users can now balance features and cost in order to select an anti-virus option that works for them. IMail Anti-Virus Premium Edition is powered by industry leading Symantec Scan Engine technology, offering the most reliable, high performance anti-virus available. The Premium Edition is strictly a name change of the current IMail Anti-Virus offering, existing customers will be unaffected. IMail Anti-Virus Standard Edition is powered by award winning Softwin BitDefender technology, offering a cost effective, dependable alternative. Both products are fully integrated with IMail Server, ensuring that all email traffic is scanned before delivery. They also offer the ability to automate virus signature updates to download updates without user intervention. Virus scanning can now be enabled for each domain regardless of whether it has a real IP address or not. Quality & Performance IMail Server leverages the knowledge and rapid development of the open source community through the use of Open LDAP and Open SSL. This allows Ipswitch to focus on development of the core product and meeting the messaging needs of our users. The addition of OpenLDAP also means that non-IMail user information can now be added to the LDAP database and LDAP information can be provided for all domains, even those without a real IP address. The log analyzer helps administrators to track down anomalies and unusual traffic patterns before they become problems. The addition of Classic WebMail to the core product allows users to work in their preferred language without administrator intervention, reducing the amount of time needed to support users. Email notifications are currently going out to service agreement holders and warranty customers. The rest of the product announcement emails will be sent when the release is completed at the end of April.
