I thought I'd let you know I installed on a win32 advanced server with XMAIL. I already had Archive-Zip and Win32-Daemon but srvany.exe was on another machine. Your install program found it on M$ and downloaded it with no problems. However, when I started in scoped.pl -d the program complained it couldn't find Mime::Parser. I had to install Mime-Tools so you might want to add that to your list of pre-requisites. I had forgotten to set my xmail path variable, too. But after that all worked fine. I haven't had a chance to test anything yet but looking good so far.

I had to install Mime-Tools so you might want to add that to your list of pre-requisites. hmm, yes It wasn't listed, MIME::Parser is required for SA and the vanguard stuff. Was Mime::Parser really part of the Mime-Tools bundle? I had forgotten to set my xmail path variable, too. But after that all worked fine. On Win32, Scope will first lookup the registry for the MAIL_ROOT key, used by XMail in service mode. If not found, you either have to set the MAIL_ROOT env variable OR set the MailRoot path in scopeconf.xml (preferred) I haven't had a chance to test anything yet but looking good so far. if you've had a bad experience with SpamAssassin on Win32, it most likely you've run it standalone, spawned once per message. And yes, in that situation SA performance really sucks. However, Scope::spamassassin supersedes the need of SA's SPAMC/SPAMD since it hosts its own persistant SA objects (the sole purpose of SPAMD). Besides persistance, Scope::spamassassin allows per-user spam-scores via user.tab (and soon via MySQL) and archiving for spam-positive messages which ties SA and XMail into a neat combo. you will definitely see a performance impact. If still not satisfied you always have the option of removing the SA tests you don't find absolutely necessary (inside the rules directory). that will improve speed further. thomas.

Downloaded and it fired right up (Linux), luckily I already had all the required modules installed. I am hoping to do some testing with it starting later today or tomorrow. I am most interested in the SPAM assassin tie in since my own method requires an individual process to spawned for each it can be system intensive one large mail servers. Looking forward to exploring this approach. let me know how it goes... As I did myself, you gonna experience a huge performance boost using a persistant SA object v$ one per message. Keep your eye on the Scope memory usage though, since SA tend to leak bits of memory over time, atleast v2.42 does that over here. hint, run scoped in dbl debug mode (-d -d) to make sure SA does ok, this will output the full scan results to the console. Also, scanned messages get their ratings written to a header named 'X-SpamAssassin-Rating', that way you can make sure a message went via the procedure. good luck, Thomas.
