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.

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 This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
