Stephan,
Greetings. I'm Andy. I'm the engineer for the installer. I'll take a
comment on number 1 and let Pete hit you with the answers for the rest.
First off, since you are running Sniffer2 in persistant mode, it probably
means you have it wrapped in a service that the installer won't understand
how to unwravel. So you will probably need to stop the service in order to
release the $license.exe for archiving.
That said, the installer makes an archive file of an old sniffer install in
order to help people with a quick restore, for any reason. However, in
confirming my answer for you, I noted that uninstalling SNF3.0 will put
MXGaurds Auth and PathToEXE lines in the mxguard config file to their
default values. This would orphan a <RESTORE> of the SNF2 image if we
attempted to roll back the operation. To reconnect it, the AUTH and the
PathToExe lines in the MXGuard config file would need to be corrected.
( That not being too difficult a fix if we did try to put the old install
back. ) You should be able to proceed with confidence. If you would like to
wait for the patch to the installer that will re-tie the restore back into
MXGuard, I can have that out in the next 24hrs. )
I'll send you my contact information so you can have me available to you
when you're making your upgrade.
Thanks for using Sniffer.

Subject: [sniffer] Am I ready to upgrade to version 3?
Yes, that's what I'm asking myself for quite some time now.
I think the answer is yes, but I'd like to know a few things for sure.
1.) I'd like to use the Windows installer. Can it handle my setup?
- Windows 2003 Server Standard
- IMail Premium 10.01 with Premium Antispam active
- MxGuard 1.72
- Sniffer Version 2 installed in persistent mode
2.) Anything I MUST read and understand before upgrading?
3.) What about network traffic generated by V3 compared to V2?
Our (small) company has a DSL-line which is used by
the mailserver exclusively. But it is not a full flat,
so at some point we have to pay traffic.
4.) What about processor load? Do we need more power to get V3
running smoothly.
5.) Anything important I forgot to ask?
I'd like to know the answer to that, too ;-)
TIA
