And that helped me. To me it is logical to use the preference extension on storage engines where this is supported. Should preference extension not be enabled or available then it's logical to me to go with the default preferences and as a last exit use dspam.conf if everything fails. > I guess one way to fix default preferences should be enough, as at the > end, > I look it from that perspective that: 1) Normal DSPAM: 1.1) default.prefs is the place to add preferences 1.2) dspam.conf is the place to add preferences if default.prefs is not available 2) DSPAM with the preference extension: 2.1) Users preferences in the preference extension is the first place to add preferences 2.2) Should there be no user preferences, go and check default (uid 0) 2.3) Should default fail do the same as with normal DSPAM (1.1 then 1.2) > after some time, you might forget how things work if you want to change > something (it happened to me with DSPAM some time ago, and thought they > had > to bet set in dspam.conf...) I simplified this by removing default.prefs. > You forgot how DSPAM works and then you removed a file without knowing the impact of that action? That kind of things can happen all the time.

I am sure your work on the documentation as a native speaking English person will be much appreciated by the others from the DSPAM community. // Steve -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
