As much as many IMail customers may wish an explanation, I don't think Ipswitch really owes anybody one. They're going to honor their SAs, and are apparently giving refunds to those who renewed very recently. It sucks that IMail as a standalone product is being orphaned, but sh*t happens, I'm afraid. Whether it's a product line change or a company tanking, that's the way the cookie crumbles. That's why our next step (and we feel absolutely no rush here, either, lived for four years without an SA so another year or so won't kill us) is to go to an open source solution. I have a pretty good feeling that a major open source MTA like Postfix will probably be around in some form when I get out of the business in a few decades, while those going to commercial solutions will probably have gone through two or three MTAs at the same time. I don't mean this to be a commercial software-open source provocation, but just my reading of the facts of life here. Despite its flaws, IMail still is one of the best mail software solutions I've ever seen. I wish Ipswitch all the best, though I think it's gonna take a lot more than that to make them even find a niche in a world dominated by Exchange. -- A.
