The bad rule turned out not to be as bad as we suspected -- so I don't think that was the problem. Also the bad rule has been gone for a while so you're not likely to have it in your rulebase. > I am currently running in the persistent mode.

The correct way to call SNFClient.exe is either just like you call the older SNF (compatibility mode): SNFClient.exe authenticationxx scanthis.msg I'm guessing from your notes and memory SNFClient.exe authenticationxx %1 --- The other way you can call SNFClient.exe to perform a scan is simply: SNFClient.exe scantthis.msg --- If you run SNFClient.exe without any parameters it will remind you how it can be used. If you called it with: SNFClient.exe file licenseid %1 Then that would be too many parameters so you would probably get an error and possibly a nonzero result. I may simply be misinterpreting your notes - but if you did something like this in your script (batch file) then it's possible the result would be to hold every message. > At the moment I switched back to the old version of sniffer after > going through 600 emails by hand and sorting out spam and real mail > and manually placing them in the correct mailboxes, that was fun. Sorry about that. I tried to be as explicit as possible in the readme files and the help system in the program itself (running SNFClient.exe on the command line by itself should list all of the ways the client can be called.) The new SNF doesn't have a persistent and non-persistent mode like the old version. Instead, it is strictly a client/server model. Run the SNFServer.exe program as described in the read me and then leave it running. Then, with your message processing script you can call the SNFClient.exe program in place of the old SNF program without any modifications if that is easier -- -the SNFClient.exe will accept the same parameters as the old SNF program without a problem. This makes it relatively easy to switch back (as you did). If you start out running the SNFServer from the command line then it's display will help you to know when things are working correctly -- you will be able to see when messages start going through and you should quickly get an idea of what looks correct. Once you're confident in that setup then you can run the SNFServer using srvany or firedaemon or your other favorite utility that runs programs as a service.
