the advisories Pegasus Email over the years.
The link for WinPMail is http://secunia.com/product/5565/ and it shows
only one hit over the years, none unpatched. You can compare this to
the other email systems pretty easily. For example, OE6 has 21 hits with
8 not fixed.
Aside from all the sniping, I appreciate seeing this reference. It *does*
say something for Pegasus, but not everything. It's one thing to look at
history, but it's another to look at testing from an unbiased source, where
a test suite is set up and all products are evaluated using the same
criteria. Certainly this type of testing would be almost impossible, from a
technical, time, and dollars standpoint, to do this thoroughly and
correctly. Haven't any of the PC rags done any kind of testing on this?
Because this is a professional forum, I would like to comment that the tone
by a few people in this thread was unwarranted. Red flags automatically go
up in my mind whenever anyone says "there is nothing better out there" with
no evidence/links to back up the claim. (Have you heard the radio
commercial for a diet pill where the doctor says he has "the final answer"?
Yeah, he's looking to become a millionaire.) I just don't respond slamming
the person making the unsubstantiated comments.
So, guys, this is a worthwhile discussion. Let's keep it at a professional
level, please?
