Feel free to encourage them to send us financial support, but otherwise, we can't be in the business of demanding that some who use SquirrelMail in corporate or large-scale environments have to pay and others don't. On the other hand, trying to put more emphasis on a paid priority support scheme that such businesses might be likely to join is probably good. There are probably some other, similar models in this realm... feel free to contribute ideas if you have them. > There may be another option.

We more or less *do* have this now, in the form of "official support" listed on our commercial support page, but most people seem to miss this or think they don't need it. I think in the future, our paid support options need to be made more prominent, including on the download pages. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donations.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
