I'm new to message sniffer so please excuse my ignorance.
We are running Mdaemon 6.85 on a Windows 2000 machine. I followed the instructions as stated on both Mdaemon's site and Message Sniffer's site. After I implement the rules all messages that are processed are flagged and moved to the "bad message queue". I copied a portion from the Log file to show the error. I also included the part where I ran the test script that was included with Message Sniffer.

I have a log file that is full of ERROR_MSG_FILE 69
This most likely indicates that Sniffer is not being called correctly. Actually, looking at it more closely I see a single quote trailing the message file name in the log - so you are probably looking for a type-o. :-)
ERROR_MSG_FILE 69 is a (fail safe) error, so Sniffer will return 0 to the calling program. If your messages are all being flagged then you also need to hunt down a bug in your Content Filter scripting. Specifically, the result given by Sniffer when this error occurs is the same as if the message was not spam - that's what we mean by (fail safe).

I looked at the Message Sniffer site to see the error code, but I don't know why the message wouldn't be readable. I didn't read anything about a permissions setting or anything like that.
Also, is there an archive of old messages on the website? I could not find anything on past questions on the list.
We maintain the web site based on all support traffic - so most questions are covered there in the help sections. We have recently set up archives for this list. You can find that information at this url:

You can go to the actual archive at this one:
