Of course the news story makes the situation appear much worse than it
really is, although no one can argue the importance of email. I don't
use GFI products, but the mistake they have made could have been
avoided with a bit more effort in their testing department.
Especially when they rely on 3rd party products.
GFI has some work to do, and so does their competition. We can all
learn a lesson here.
