I'm in a similar boat. We had been on the Sendmail for NT product for a number of years. When we first purchased Sendmail it was a MetaInfo product. MetaInfo decided to focus on TCPIP tools and sold Sendmail for NT to Sendmail (the ubiquitous *NIX mail server producers...) Within a year or so, Sendmail scaled this product way beyond our needs and budget.
I hung tough for a few years using a dead product on a dead NOS and finally decided on a nice, stable, widely used product. Imail. Inside of one year... Here we go again. I can understand the market pressure companies like Sendmail and Ipswitch are under. That doesn't mean, as an end user, I need to like their response to that pressure. I held no animosity towards Sendmail as they were bringing their Window$ product into line with their *nix offering. Supporting both products would have been a nightmare for them. Ipswitch, on the other hand, has decided to totally vacate this market for what appears to be arbitrary reasons. It appears that they'd much rather hunt for bigger game and no longer have any use for the businesses who've helped fill their coffers in the past. I'll never use another Ipswitch product again, for any reason, under any circumstances... Primarily because of the way the approached this issue... the spin they put on this issue... and their total disregard for those who supported this product... -Gil > I spent two years talking my bosses into letting me take over our mail > services from our ISP.
