I have run SpamAssasin on Windows servers (both with ActivePerl and CygWin) and Linux servers. Running SpamAssassin on Linux (or other unix) runs much faster and more reliably than on Windows.
I run XMail on a Windows server and SpamAssassin on a Fedora Core 4 server. Works like a charm. I wrote a SpamC filter for Windows XMail Post-Data filter to use. If you are really limited to just one box, then you should try to run SpamAssassin using CygWin so you can make full use of DCC, Pyzor, Razor and such. I still have an out-dated (but useful) page hidden on my server that might help you... http://www.yourtech.net/documents/cw-sa/ I will (someday) write step by step instructions for install XMail for Windows, XMail-WAI (webmail and admin) for Windows, and SpamAssassin for Fedora Core 4. If you do decide to try Fedora Core 4, use YUM to install SpamAssassin. It'll give you a startup script for SpamAssassin and install it as a service. Also note that SpamAssassin doesn't run under root account... you'll need to create an account for it to run under... I named mine "spamd" ------------------------------------------------------------ Jason J Ellingson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sönke Ruempler Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 3:43 PM To: xmail@xmailserver.org Subject: [xmail] Re: stopping spam On 08.09.2005 22:33, Digerati Isabaddass wrote: > Well thank you.

I have no experiences with windows servers, so the only think I can do is point you to: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/InstallingOnWindows - 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]
