No, it can't. As I understand it, dspam works best in per-user, making any type of SMTP-time implementation inconvenient at best (deferring all recipients after the first one). If you really want to switch, check out this posting: http://www.exim.org/mail-archives/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20050124/msg000 99.html Instead of jumping ship, have you tried tracking down the cause of your problems? Are you doing size checks before sending a message to spamd, like so: warn message = X-New-Subject: **** SPAM **** $h_Subject log_message = WARN: Spam flagged, score $spam_score condition = ${if <{$message_size}{100k}{1}{0}} spam = Debian-exim Also, are you using this on Debian? There's been some reported problems with the 3.03 SA package on Debian having memory leaks. Users report that reverting back to 3.02 solved the problem. We're running SA 3.03 on Debian (no memory leak here) on a 1GHz Celeron with 256MB of RAM and have a relatively light load average. We run the full battery of network tests, Bayes, and many add-in rule sets. We only process about 1000 messages a day, though. Try posting your issues with SA to the SA mailing list. The developers are on there daily, as well as many other very smart people who are terrifically helpful. - S --- Steven Dickenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Computer Network Manager The Key School, Annapolis Maryland -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
