Gromox vs Salesmsg: at a glance
What is Gromox?
Gromox 3.13 adds scripts to move Exchange-for-All systems onto it.
Gromox ships a numbered release roughly monthly. 3.13 adds scripts to convert E4A systems to Gromox, full two-way sync of IMAP keywords with MAPI categories, multi-message vCard export and audit logging in emsmdb and zcore, and fixes an EWS gap where any user could answer, alter or move meeting requests in other mailboxes. 3.12 moved MAPI-to-internet conversion onto VMIME with RFC 2231 filenames; 3.11 added IMAP FETCH BINARY and Sent Items copies for send-as and send-on-behalf on shared mailboxes.
What is Salesmsg?
Salesmsg adds call-back requests and a one-click Emergency Stop for all outbound texts.
Salesmsg's autumn releases added survey automation, Click Tracking, upgraded Reviews and an official MCP server, then turned Sherpa AI into an assistant that sends replies and builds broadcasts after approval. The November 12 update moves to calling and safety controls: callers can request a callback instead of holding, Emergency Stop pauses every outbound message at once, inboxes can require call recording, tags can be applied during calls with HubSpot sync, and a weekly recap reports AI agent performance.

Gromox 3.13 adds scripts to move Exchange-for-All systems onto it.
◆ Current state
Gromox ships a numbered release roughly monthly. 3.13 adds scripts to convert E4A systems to Gromox, full two-way sync of IMAP keywords with MAPI categories, multi-message vCard export and audit logging in emsmdb and zcore, and fixes an EWS gap where any user could answer, alter or move meeting requests in other mailboxes. 3.12 moved MAPI-to-internet conversion onto VMIME with RFC 2231 filenames; 3.11 added IMAP FETCH BINARY and Sent Items copies for send-as and send-on-behalf on shared mailboxes.
◆ Where it's heading
The project keeps completing Exchange behaviour for clients that expect it, now including shared-mailbox Sent Items and meeting handling that matches Exchange. 3.13's conversion scripts and audit logging point at migration and compliance as the adoption path, alongside the IMAP work that has run since 3.8. Permission checks on EWS calendar operations show the protocol surface now gets security review, not only coverage.
◆ Prediction
Expect more EWS permission and behaviour corrections and continued IMAP4rev2 coverage; the E4A scripts suggest further migration tooling from other groupware.
Salesmsg
6.3COMMS
Salesmsg adds call-back requests and a one-click Emergency Stop for all outbound texts.
◆ Current state
Salesmsg's autumn releases added survey automation, Click Tracking, upgraded Reviews and an official MCP server, then turned Sherpa AI into an assistant that sends replies and builds broadcasts after approval. The November 12 update moves to calling and safety controls: callers can request a callback instead of holding, Emergency Stop pauses every outbound message at once, inboxes can require call recording, tags can be applied during calls with HubSpot sync, and a weekly recap reports AI agent performance.
◆ Where it's heading
With AI now able to send messages, Salesmsg is adding the brakes: an organization-wide stop switch and weekly reports on what its AI agents did. Calling features keep catching up with texting, with queue callbacks and recording rules.
◆ Prediction
Expect more controls over what Sherpa and AI agents may send, such as per-agent limits or approval rules, alongside further HubSpot call-data sync.
