Blatant advertising. Article fails to establish notability. No sources provided, only ones I found talk about security holes in the software. BJTalk 13:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The software isn't notable. I did see mention on Google to it having won multiple awards, however, I could not locate the awards it won. Xymmax (talk) 14:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rewrite. The article is basically a dump of the product's features and does not explain the reason for notability well. The article is also misnamed as it should be called "Icewarp". Researching notability in Google was not easy as most hits for Icewarp are links to download sites or webmail systems which use it. Still I guess it proves that people are using it. I have found a couple of proper independent reviews which I am going to add to the article. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rewrite. It's a niche product, basically an alternative to Exchange with some unique features interesting for those dealing with servers and antispam technologies. Btw the vendor claims there are 40 mil of end users. The article has been rewritten last year as my (user/fan) initiative, keeping neutrality in mind, hence only the product features are mentioned. Recently I also went to settle the issue with image fair use (screenshots) so hopefully they won't be orphaned for a long time. Icewarp ltd (talk) 21:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
