Thanks Bruce,

The delays are fine, but we would like to have more communications on
status. The last announcement was for an "early December" release.

Directly from the Newsletter: "Tucows' anti-spam with email attack
prevention will be released inearly December 2003. "

We told our customers December as a result. What should we actually
tell them now?
