I'm running some initial setup tests as I plan to migrate from SM 4 to 5 and to a new server. We're currently using declude to handle all of our spam filtering, but are hoping to drop the extra cost if SM 5 can provide reasonable filtering for us. I have turned on simple spam filtering at the...

OKay, I've read, and been told from Tech support that the spamassassin that comes with SmaterMail is single threaded.. However.. I've successfully gotten it to run in multithread mode by running it from the command line with the following command line. spamd -m 50 --min-spare=25 --allow-tell...

I have finally implemented what I believe to be the ultimate SPAM and Virus killer, and it is 100% Free. Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 Enterprise FreeBSD 6.1 ISO disk 1...
