_M, <<_M said>> Is that true (do you think) or is it now more likely that SA would be disabled?
I have no basis, but doubt that more than 5% of MDaemon configurations have SA disabled. I'm certain Sniffer would far benefit in the overall picture if you could create an installation that ties-in together with SA. The benefit of SA in MDaemon is the fact that it's their default Spam-Filter and unfortunately MD has built their bells and whistles around it. For a normal company it's almost mandatory to use. I'm not anti-SA; I think its a fine service, we've just figured out that it's extra baggage on our servers which serves no specific use for our needs (just ties-up system resources). Arvel @ Alt-N is clearly missing the boat...

I think it's the first time I've heard it said out loud from anyone involved with MDaemon. As a result I'm operating under the assumption that folks who install SNF on MDaemon _most likely_ have SA running and so that would be the simplest default installation. Is that true (do you think) or is it now more likely that SA would be disabled? In any case, the installer is intended for someone who just wants to push the button and have it work. In that context, what is the best "default install"? All that said, once the installation is complete, a technically savvy person could reconfigure SNF to and MDaemon to work in any way they prefer. We're definitely not going to do anything to make that more difficult. Thanks, _M This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
