In reality, they have nothing to do with Gauntlet. There are various tools that allow you to install a regular .EXE as a Service. XYNTservice happens to be one of them, SRVANY is the one that came with the Windows Resource Kit. Both will do the job - or any similar tool. So, yes, leave Sniffer alone. If you like, use SRVANY instead of XYNTservice to install the Gauntlet executable - it makes no difference. I haven't had time yet this week, but I plan to set up Gauntler (likely using SRVANY). If you're not done by then, I can share the details.

I don't seem to have a XYNTService.exe or .ini file anywhere near any sniffer folders. I did discover a pair of them on the C drive in Clam folders. When I look at the properties for Sniffer in Services there is this: C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\SRVANY.exe Which I take is another way of managing Sniffer. We may have done a manual upgrade from a 2x version to the client server of Sniffer but it's been so long ago I can't remember. It runs fine and I'm reluctant to re install it. Pete at ARM suggested leaving it alone as it's working quite well. Having said that, I'd still like to try Gauntlet and am wondering how. I think I need to add to either the Declude folder or one of the sub folders the XYNTService.exe and ini files and modify the ini file as described in the instillation instructions. Since I don't have Sniffer configed to use XYNT I think I have to, from the command line move to that sub directory and initialize it? Since I'm not really an IT person, but am stuck with maintaining the mail server I'd appreciate any help offered. BTW I looked tonight and we've been running Ipswitch and Declude since either 1996 or 1997. Boy that's been a long time. I did run the filter without the HOLD function, simply WARN and found few matches. I'm interested in what happens in the early morning when we get quite a bit of spam, as it seems to fall off in the afternoon. I'm tempted to hold everything not whitelisted as early in the day quite a bit gets through. We forward to Pete anything with a Weight of 18 and not caught by Sniffer but quite a bit comes in with low scores. thanks in advance John ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <community@mailsbestfriend.com>.
