1) Any docs on how to install SpamAssassin on Windows and don't tell you how to do it via installing CygWin will result in a serial mode SpamAssassin install. No SpamD, no DCC, no Razor, and no Pyzor.
2) Serial mode SpamAssassin is FAR FAR slower than using SpamD (which is a form of SpamAssassin running as a service) and SpamC (the program that talks to the SpamD service). 3) What he wants is CygWin installed, SpamAssassin installed, DCC, installed, Razor installed, Pyzor installed, and SpamD running as a service on the Windows box. 4) Then he needs an actual WINDOWS BINARY XMAIL FILTER to do the function of SpamC, but give error codes and rejection messages compatible with XMail's Post-SMTP filter. (I have one written) So, yes, he can get what he wants.... but he better have a good CPU and plenty of RAM to handle literally running two operating systems on one machine. hence why I recommend he use two PCs... much faster. ------------------------------------------------------------ Jason J Ellingson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Garnice Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 7:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [xmail] Re: stopping spam To my knowledge (and I have done some searching in the past), no one has developed a decent XMail filter for SpamAssassin in serial mode on Windows. At work I'm forced to run my XMail relay directly on the Exchange server and use Dario's XSpamC to call SpamAssassin on Fedora PPC on a Mac G4. It's been flawless for over a year now. I don't think Digerati is going to find exactly what he's looking for. - Eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
