I'm shocked you are shocked!!!

If you want the latest greatest gadgets you should get the Professional Edition. The EMail server is supposed to perform a FUNCTION, and that function is "EMail server". I don't see what any package version information has to do with this.

You miss my point... I was very surprised that you guys let this out the door! Not that I wanted the latest and greatest gadgets. BTW - I do have the Pro edition and loyally *BUY* every new release.

Why should we NOT let it "out the door"? When the EMail Server II was released that was the current kernel, and of course we based it not on our latest release but on a more thoroughly tested one. Just like in Aeronautics, you don't change anything just because the new stuff has a shinier feature list. That's why airplane technology is pretty much 50s-60s these days, and I really don't complain about it (I'm a pilot ;-) ) but it makes me feel a little safer when I get into my Grob Acro (bad example, that's a full fiber composite plane, but the design principles are still the old ones) or the good ol' Cesna. I leave testing to test pilots. "Testing" is everything that hasn't been used for at least 10 years by 1 million people. Same with "EMail Server'. There's nothing modern about EMail. You want scalability and reliability. You get both with our EMail server. Scalable: the LDAP based users (no more passwd entries), the Cyrus IMAPD based IMAP/POP3 server, the postfix MTA software used (I guess sendmail-Jon will follow up on this piece of this mail soon ;-) ). Yes, the kernel update should have been out since that's a necessary security updade. Sorry, I'll follow up on this internally, but for basing this on "7.0", that's perfectly all right with me as a user of our own EMail Server product.

The 2.2.19 update works. A kernel is a kernel.

Thank you... this was the info I wanted. I just wasn't sure if you folks had tweaked any kernel params to make it the "Enterprise Edition" or if it was pretty much stock. Again, my main concern was the security holes in the kernel and other various packages.
