Well, I think you will likely find that most organizations do use Mdaemon's built-in SA implementation. I have it under fairly high load and have no problems with it. No tool is perfect, so I use mutlipe tools. SA gives me a lot of flexibility in writing my own custom rules, WhiteLists, BlackLists, etc. as well as using SURBL and URIBL lookups. It is also nice that it "Learns" key terminology for our Organization.
If Mdaemon hadn't of created the plugin hook to have Sniffer run inline, I probably wouldn't have run Sniffer as a content filter rule due to the overhead. SA and Sniffer are both great products, and having the ability for them to work in conjunction with each other seems a natural progression. Just my two cents worth... :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete McNeil Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 12:36 PM To: Peer-to-Peer (Support) Subject: Re[4]: [sniffer] On Thursday, November 10, 2005, 11:45:48 AM, Peer-to-Peer wrote: PtPS> _M, PtPS> <<_M said>> will create a "default" installation that emits PtPS> headers and puts a .cf file in place for SA to interpret them.

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.
