I think we all are using it. Stalker's betas are more stable than most
companies' final candidates; or even releases.

I've never run 1.7, but the Relay for Clients only section looks identical.
Maybe some internal code was added to disallow domain spoofing; i.e. Someone
forging their return address as [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get relay
access. Also the % SPAM hack was tended to.

Stalker has mainly been adding features. Some of the bug fixes in the 1.8
beta line were for bugs introduced in 1.8 beta. But most of the bugs have
been addressed in 1.8b8. I hear that there is a beta 9, but beta 8 has been
working great for me for over a year. Do it! You won't regret it.

Easy, just replace the 1.7 app and utilities with the 1.8b8 distribution.
Just my $0.02
