Just a few suggestions I have a spamc port for windows that will work without cygwin. http://www.henry.it/xmail (look for xspamc) I'm using it with spamd on linux (cause of razor, dcc ...) but I have instructions to setup spamd on windows. I'm still using 2.64 so don't know if it will work for 3.0. Also, I cannot say what will the performance boost be, but for sure it will run faster then cygwin.
About f-prot and lack of serious decoding I must say it is true, I'm not saying there is no mime decoder in f-prot but it is not capable of catching everything (ex. BASE64, XXEMCODE, BINHEX). The /SERVER switch will not help, it just enables searching for executables in password protected zip & rar archives, evenmore the /ARCHIVE=n switch was modified (in 3.10 I think) to speed up things but this can be a security risk as you can nest archives many many times. Another thing that makes me mad about f-prot is that sometimes they just miss a bagle or mydoom release. Recently beagle.at and beagle.av Curiously this doesn't apply to their f-secure products. For this reason I'm using f-prot and nai superdat togheter in my avfilter (0.5), decoding everything (even nested) with built in decoder (uudeview). I'm a big fan of frisk software, I use it since 1990, but they are obviously putting more effort into f-secure than f-prot and probably this is going to get worse in the future.

The SpamC you are using is using CygWin.dll to run... With that setup, you'd find a definite improvement by moving to a linux box to run them both on. F-Prot for Windows needs the "server" switch turned on when scanning (don't remember the "-switch" you need off hand). Then it doesn't need any decoders... it will decode on its own. It understands MIME, UUENCODE, ZIP, attached messages, etc, and even can decode WINMAIL.DAT (Outlook proprietary encoding). If you would like to try a native SpamC... you can use mine (XMail POST-DATA filter - written in VB.NET) or WinSpamC.exe on sourceforge (written in C). Regardless... not criticizing your choices. I think anyone taking the time to come up with some sort of anti-virus/anti-spam system for their mail servers deserves a solid pat on the back. ------------------------------------------------------------ Jason J Ellingson Technical Consultant 615.301.1682 : nashville 612.605.1132 : minneapolis www.ellingson.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shiloh Jennings Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: [****SPAM****] RE: Re: Spam Filters Cygwin for CLamAV and a native Win32 compile of SpamC. Windows CLamAV: http://clamav.or.id/ Windows SpamC: http://www.my-mueller.com/projects/sa_win32/distr/spamc-2.55-bin-cygwin.z= ip Also, SA3 comes with SpamC code that will compile under Windows. As far = as I can tell, the SpamC 2.55 works just as well with SA3 as the SpamC 3.0. = =20 I tried using F-Prot for a while, but did not like it. Too many issues = with certain decoders. The decoding stuff is actually built into ClamAV, so = we do not need to fuss with an additional decoder that may need its own babysitting and debugging. I am a huge fan of ClamAV at this point. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
