Uptime doesn't reset when you reboot or upgrade. Ahh, for whatever reason, I was thinking of the Current Uptime stat. My longtime stats are as follows. It would be longer, but there was a time when we were told to delete our existing stats file so that it would be compatible with a newer

I think, that is a rumour (unverified). fritz I was only going off of a few posts back in April. Even Kevin said not to go to 5.10. At one point in time, your website even said not to install 5.10. At any rate =), if it's ok to use now, I guess it's ok to use! Micheal Espinola Jr wrote:

Are you letting ASSP manage your spam/notspam folders? If not, you should be. The default amount of emails to keep is maxfiles=14000. That means up to 14000 per each folder. You should at least try and even out your notspam folder with your spam folder. That will help you save time on the

I still don't think you get the Big picture. Here's what you need to do: 1. Disable Use Subject as Maillog Names. 2. Set MaxFiles to 14000 (or 2 if you really feel you need it). 3. Set MaxBytes to 4000. 4. Schedule Rebuildspamdb.pl to run. MaxFiles=the amount of emails stored in each

ASSP will fill the folders up to the MaxFiles limit. After that, it will begin to randomly replace emails in the folders (not from the oldest). Your spam/notspam directories never empty once they've reached the MaxFiles limit (unless you delete them yourself or you get a whole bunch that are

I can only assume he was including the cost of the server hardware (which can cost a bit depending on how many users you have), but that cost also applies to any email server software chosen. I agree on the Smartphone part...big plus! I also use ASSP and Exchange 2003 in my environment.
