I would respectfully disagree with this view; Message Sniffer
is a very useful addition to the Anti-Spam tools in MDaemon, but 
SpamAssassin catches many thing correctly that Message Sniffer
misses, and the opposite happens as well ... we have Message
Sniffer catching things Spam Assassin can't do on its own.

Together they are very effective, but we wouldn't remove
Spam Assassin from Mdaemon, and we don't find it bogs down 
on the setups we use here, but of course that doesn't mean 
it can't happen. 

Regards,

John

Thanks for this! I think it's the first time I've heard it said out
loud from anyone involved with MDaemon. As a result I'm operating
under the assumption that folks who install SNF on MDaemon _most
likely_ have SA running and so that would be the simplest default
installation.

Is that true (do you think) or is it now more likely that SA would be
disabled?

In any case, the installer is intended for someone who just wants to
push the button and have it work. In that context, what is the best
"default install"?

All that said, once the installation is complete, a technically savvy
person could reconfigure SNF to and MDaemon to work in any way they
prefer. We're definitely not going to do anything to make that more
difficult.

Thanks,

_M
