Rather than chase down every possible vendor that could work with
Emerald and do all the grunt work, we are going to be using a new
approash with Emerald 2.5. Emerald 2.5 will include a fully
extensive DLL that currently has the proprietary extensions for
NTMail, Serv-U and DNews. Also includes is our open API set
that allows any program to validate and manipulate Emerlad users,
without having to understand the database. It will come with
full documentation so that other vendors can easily make hooks
for Emerald w/out us having to re-invent the wheel each time.
The advantage to this is great. You the customer, can send
the vendor the information (our point them at it) and they
should have a very small development cycle to support it,
since there will be no interaction requirements from our
side.
If you are a vendor or 2rd party integrator and would like to
see the DLL information before Emerald 2.5 is released, please
send me E-Mail, and I will forward it to you.
