Yes, I've found the same and I did manage to copy across some stuff from
SpamPal, I just double clicked on the respective DLL when asking for
import and it was all suddenly there - neat.

However, as I wrote in another message here, I've found that I can't
check on the server at all, only on the client. Otherwise it's working a
treat.

I'm a reasonably satisfied user of K9. I miss the integration with TB,
but to date none of the plugins have let me use TB's rules to process
SPAM. "Remove from server" is my favourite as it allows me to keep my
POP3 server "clean" for when I connect from low-bandwidth mobile
devices when on the road.

Can AntispamSniper integrate with TB rules?

I've just installed AntispamSniper on my Voyager set up and, if it goes
well, will move from SpamPal and use it on my main TB! set up.

Did you ever find a way to copy across the whitelists (all the lists, in
fact) from SpamPal, as they aren't text files are they, so how are they
copied, if at all?

Well, I installed it (trial commercial version) a couple of days ago.
I still do have K9 for other mail-clients, but AntispamSniper does a rather
good job until now.

I did have 2 false positives (of which 1 message from Thomas Fernandez!),
while I did not have even 1 false positive with K9.

But, as mentioned above, marking as junk (or correcting a false positive) is
easier than in K9.

Moreover, mail handling seems to go quicker than through K9.

So, unless problems should occur during evaluation, I think I will go for
the commercial version.

I  moved  from  Spampal (due to it's increasing uselessness) to K9 and
now onto AntispamSniper. Been using it about a month or so, I guess.

I  prefer it to K9 because it seems just as accurate, if not more so, and

change it there after deleting it in TheBat. More efficient.

I can second the positive feedback on AntispamSniper. I've been using
it since v1 was announced and bought a license a few weeks later.  Few
spams get by it and even fewer false positives.

I tried the BayesIt and Bayes Filter plugin but had problems with
both.  Prior to switching to The Bat earlier this year I used K9 with
about 98.5% and AntiSpamSniper seems to be running about the same,

My 2 cents worth.

Thanks for the feedback, Marek. Sounds good.

Maybe you can compare it with K9... since the development of K9 seems
pretty much... dead.

I  have  used  K9  and  other external antispams and then used all antispam
plugins  created  for  The  Bat!,  started  with BayesIt, then Bayes Filter
Plugin, then AGAVA and I am using AntispamSniper for 6 months.

Even though I find a plugin for TB very attractive, I'm hesitant to try
another one - the two bayes based antispam plugins for TB that I tried
sooner or later started to crap out (or refused to work right from the
start).

How long have you been using it now?

FWIW, K9 is running here something like 1 1/2 years now (or maybe even
longer, the statistics are wrong since I started with a new system about
half a year ago, and only imported the old K9 databases) and its results
are always steady.

I have my ISP delete all messages with a SpamAssassin rating higher than
4 the moment they arrive, so K9 only deals with the remaining few spam
mails that SA couldn't catch, and it does a very good job at that. :-)

Agreed - finally, in Windows, something as good as the astonishing SpamSieve on 
OS X  which I previously thought was 
unbeatable!

In fact, it is so impressive I will be buying the paying version although I 
don't need it (the comments above concern the free version ...).

There is no technical reason why not. However, the author doesn't recommend it. 
Quote:

"It is recommended to remove any other installed anti-spam plug-ins from The 
Bat!. If you have several plug-ins installed, then the overall rating for 
messages is evaluated according to special parameter in The Bat! settings. It 
is "Average" by default and this means that the rating will be evaluated as 
average between the rating obtained from each plug-in. "Maximum" and "Minimum" 
mean that the maximum or minimum rating from all values will be taken as 
overall rating. Plug-ins are not learning from each other and that is why there 
is no sense in installing several plug-ins simultaneously. The classification 
quality will be approximately equal to the quality of the plug-in with the 
worst characteristics. Moreover, the less learned plug-in will be unable to 
learn normally. The more learned plug-in will correctly classify the messages 
unknown to less learned plug-in and therefore it will never learn such 
messages."

I would have to lie down for a few hours in a darkened room to fully digest 
that reasoning, but it seems plausible ;)
