Thanks for the clarification and proper usage instructions! The IMail User's Guide Antispamseeder.exe syntax, page 259, shows all command line parameters as optional (square brackets?), so I based the usage on that context. In fact, the following page says that the -w and -x options have to be used together, but says nothing about using -h and -spam/-good in conjuction with them. When I initially left off the -h<hostname> option, 'antispamseeder.exe' complained, and I was able to correct the command line. The strange thing is that 'antispamseeder.exe' accepted the erroneous command line (shown below) and did not present an error message.
Thanks, again.
