Hello Markus, My guess would be that no one answered your question because no one had any additional information, which is the question you asked. Everyone has a very good reason to be upset about this. IPSwitch is following the almighty dollar/euro/yen and apparently doesn't care that many of us don't want all the extras, just a simple, reliable, affordable, email server. Nothing more. I have communicated my thoughts to them just like everyone else should. Granted, the special upgrade price for our needs (250 users) is only $2995 but that is quite a bit more than the service agreement(SA) and requires a more expensive annual maintenance fee of $2695 as well. We just renewed our SA this month so are covered at least till 10/05 but if the powers-that-be want to stay with IPswitch, we will have to cough up another $3000 by the end of the year, or $5000 by 10/05, and another $2700 in 10/06. According to the nice lady I spoke with who is having a "So-So" day :o), CDW is selling the special priced upgrades at a discount but have not updated their web site yet. If anyone finds a suitable replacement, please keep this list updated. Scott, if Computerized Horizons jumps on the bandwagon of another email server, be sure to let us know.
