Greetings MikeD, On Tuesday, September 2, 2003, 5:00:09 PM, you wrote: MikeD> You Spampal (SpamAssasin, Spamcop, etc.) guys trot that same MikeD> recommendation out every time someone mentions the anti-spam plugins.

I have tried them all at one time or another and being as I run my own mail server I layer Spampal between my mail server and The_Bat!. I use it because it works and the newest version, v1.5 with a few added plugins, meets my end goal. MikeD> In particular, Spampal (et. al.) might not be appropriate because ... MikeD> ...

While any layer of spam detection is operational there will be the headache of configuration and a CPU/memory/resource drain. Same with any application or service under the Win32 platform. No way around it. No CPU cycles, no mapped real or virtual memory location and no request of resource region and it won't run. Simple. Your point? BTW, Spampal does not run as a service. It runs as a startup app and does not trigger until mail is requested through The_Bat! to the mail server. MikeD> ... some of us prefer to have all of our email "stuff" in one MikeD> place/package.
