[sniffer] Status screen of SNFServer - What does it mean?
Hello, I am using the latest beta of Message Sniffer. Can you please tell me what all of the #''s are on the status screen when SNFServer is running? Obviously M/min is messages per minute, but what do the following mean? SP: LR: [0/13 / 0 ] (the slash spins clockwise here) W: C: B: T: S: Thanks, Shawn
[sniffer] Proper way to setup a SNFServer on it's own box
Hello, I searched the Wiki but could not find a proper answer to this question. If I have my mail server on it's own server, and I want to have Message Sniffer on it's own server, how would I go about setting this up? I will have the SNFServer instance running on it's own server. Does SNFClient.exe still get called on the server that is running the mail server? If so, how do I setup SNFClient so it knows where to find the SNFServer? For the trial I had everything running on 1 server and it was easy to get working. But now I have purchased a copy I want to put SNFServer on it's own box. Thanks, Shawn
[sniffer] Message Sniffer Purchase requirment
Hello, We have been evaluating Message Sniffer for the past month and are ready to make a purchase, but we have one question. One the order page, it states: Please note that the email address you provide must be on the server that will be using Message Sniffer. What exactly does this mean? We have been using the trial without any type of e-mail address requirement other than an E-Mail address that was used to send us update notices. Thanks, Shawn
[sniffer] Re: Message Sniffer Purchase requirment
Pete. This makes much better sense to me now. Thanks for the quick reply.

We have been using the trial without any type of e-mail address requirement other than an E-Mail address that was used to send us update notices. What that means (in context) is that you cannot sign up for an SNF account using an email address that we cannot verify. For example, you can't sign up to use SNF form a gmail account unless we can verify that you are Google and you want to start using SNF to filter your spam :-) Same thing for hotmail, yahoo, other free email services or an email service that doesn't belong to you (or perhaps one of your customers if you are a reseller). Normally you would have an email account on the server you were going to support with SNF. If we've validated your trial and you are ready to purchase then you should use the same information (in most cases) to sign up. If there is a reason you need to change your contact information then use your new contact information but be sure to put your trial license ID in your order form so we can connect to and verify the new information. I've copied this to billing@ so they will be looking for you in case there are any questions or any confusion.

[sniffer] What happens if SNFServer is not running or crashes?
Hello. I am using the latest beta version of Message Sniffer. On your Wiki, it states under: http://kb.armresearch.com/index.php?title=Message_Sniffer.TechnicalDetails.Peer-Server Topic: Can you briefly explain Peer-Server technology? Next, the client instance will load the rulebase itself and scan it's own message. After that - it _SHOULD_ remove it's job file. HOWEVER -- if something kills off the instance before it has a chance to finish then the .ABT file will be left behind (if it's gotten to this stage). What I assume from reading the above that if SNFServer is not running, then the SNFClient.exe will load the rulebase and scan it's own message/file. This does not seem to happen. If SNFServer is not running (forgot to start it or it crashes), and SNFClient tries to connect to it and fails, it never loads the rulebase itself and does a scan with a result code. It just sits there until it times out. Am I interpreting the Wiki correctly? Thanks, Shawn
[sniffer] Rule Database copy question
Hello, I am using the latest beta version of Message Sniffer. I am asking this question because I thought I read this somewhere but I can not find where I read it. If I copy my rule database file to the c:\snf directory while SNFServer.exeis running, does SNFServer automatically load the new updated rule database? If so, how long does it usually take before SNFServer realizes that there is a new rule database that was copied to that directory? Is there anyway to verify that SNFServer has loaded the latest rule database that was copied? I know I can run a SNF2check.exe on the rule database to check the file before I copy it, but it would be great to know if SNFServer.exe has loaded the latest copy that I have copied to the c:\snf directory. Thanks, Shawn
[sniffer] ERROR_SYNC_FAILED
Hello, I am using the latest beta of Message Sniffer. Occasionally in my log file I will see the following entry: e u='20080116022507' context='SNF_NETWORK' code='99' text='ERROR_SYNC_FAILED'/ What causes this and how do I correct it? Thanks, Shawn
[sniffer] Sniffer Win32 command line output
Hello, I am evaluating Message Sniffer beta version but I am totally confused. :-) If I am in a MSDOS Window and I type: SNFClient.exe junkmsg.txt there is a very fast pause and I am returned to the command prompt. I can go into the log and see this: s u='20080110191039' m='junkmsg.txt' s='54' r='9649' m s='54' r='9649' i='383' e='391' f='m'/ p s='0' t='0' l='1577' d='39'/ /s So I know everything is working like it should be. But how do I get the result code for the spam message to output back to the command prompt? If I try to call SNFClient.exe from my C# code, I still cannot get a result code returned to me. I can get a result code if I do this: SNFClient.exe -test xx.xx.xx.xx but SNFClient.exe does not return the result code when I am passing a filename to be tested. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to see this result code via my C# software code or command prompt box? Thanks, Shawn

Pete, That is exactly what I needed. You rock. Thanks so much. Shawn On Jan 10, 2008 11:56 AM, Pete McNeil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Shawn, Following up a bit... Most likely you're using a Process object to call the SNFClient. If I've read the MS docs correctly you will want to get the exit code once SNFClient finishes. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.exitcode(VS.71).aspx Hope this helps, _M # This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list sniffer@sortmonster.com.
