Hi Dave, I know what you mean. After the first startup venture in the late 90's, holidays have never been the same...
You might try running the 2.06 version for SmarterMail. I've heard mostly success for that. That may buy you some time until the kinks get worked out of the 3.0 beta.

Well, the "good news" is that I've made some progress in understanding the problem. As long as I don't specify a "HOLD" action (EG. WEIGHT30 HOLD %DATE%) and instead run with (WEIGHT30 SUBJECT [SPAM]) then Declude will at least process MOST of the incoming email. When I tell Declude to hold email above a certain weight, it falls all over itself with problems. I'm seeing messages in the logs about attempts to move non-existent files. I see paths for these files having spaces or double slashes in the path names which are obvious programming errors. I'm half tempted to edit the Declude.exe file with a hex editor and fix the path problems myself. But there are some logic problems too so there is no point. I hate the thought of running for 3 days not being able to block ANY spam at all. But what are you going to do? At least I can tag the majority of the spam. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Declude.JunkMail- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darin Cox > Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 8:15 PM > To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com > Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude bugs and problems with smartermail > > Hi Dave, > > Probably not...
