FC> Question 1: is it possible to use simultaneously 2 antispam plugins or it is not FC> advisable? It is possible, but it will be strongly uncomfortable for you. 1. The bat! doesn't say to plugin, which final grade a letter has. 2. If plugin realizes auto-learning, it is necessary to know which final grade the letter has. 3. To resolve this question, plugin just reads setting's file of The Bat! and take the necessary value from it. Then it uses this value for auto-learning. I.e., if the "bound" is 60, and plugin calculated the grade as 80, it means that The Bat! will move this letter into "junk mail", or even delete it. And vice-versa - if the grade is 40, plugin knows that this letter will come to inbox folder. So, basing on this known "boundary" grade, plugin can automatically "mark" and learn the letter as junk, or as not junk. 4. But this learning is still based only on plugin's own grade; it couldn't know the final "collective" grade given to letter by all installed plugins and calculated by The Bat! from all values and settings "minimum... average...maximum". So, if you have the boundary at 60, and, for example, 2 plugins, and that the first give the grade 50, second - 70, it means that the first will automatically "learn" the letter as not junk, but second - as junk. So, the different plugin can auto-learn a letter as categorized differently. It will be hidden error, which will cause one (or, both) of installed plugins to be wrongly trained, so, the final result of filtering in process of this false learning will come to 0% effect. 5. Resume: if you want to install more than 1 anti-spam plugins (at least based on current API, published at Sep, 2002 and opened to everybody - the question of Achim about "full access" to API was very strange - the API is opened since it was published), you MUST always manually train them, i.e., mark ALL incoming mail as spam/not spam. -- Sincerely, Alexey.
