as a administrator for the mail server,i am puzzled by the updating.i do not know how i can change the new version as the zimbra changes.if i do not update ,i worried about the holes,if i do, i worried about lost my server data.
i suggest zimbra update every 6 month and do strictly test before release a new version. |
Hi nxzwt,
We appreciate your suggestions!
It's difficult for us because we always want to ensure that our customers (both OSS and NE) have their systems running properly.
For example, there was a critical ClamAV update that came out. It would not have been responsible for us to wait any longer.
We invent many of the technologies and techniques as we go. We built the framework, and are learning as we grow.
With that said, no one is making you update, and you can feel free to update every six months. We have deployments that follow that kind of upgrade strategy.
Microsoft changed their update strategy to every month. As an IT admin, I hate it, but I'm glad knowing that I'm protected. Even though they have a regular update schedule, they still get a lot of flack for not updating "as needed".
We really can't win either way. . .so, we put the updates out there, and you choose when to update, not us.
Thanks again,
john
