I've recently turned up a fresh NT2k server with SQL2000 for the quarentined emails. The first instance of SF via the installer works perfectly. Working with Roberto i did the following to create the additional instances needed: - copied files to a new directory As it is now SF is working for all instances. However, I can only get the gui for the main one. When I click on the exe, from the appropriate folder, I get a can't bind error, and it's already in use. Afterwards, I then can see the settings which are loading from the text files, and none of the real time activity (logs, quarentine, stats, etc) Suggestions would be most appreciated. |

Rich, Go to the service property page, select the "Log On" tab and check the box "Allow service to interact with desktop". Restart the service and it should now show up as a second gui. Regards, Dan S. |

Dan, Thanks, I thought the same. Made the change, rebooted, and still the same problem. Rich |

shoot me your remail address to my hotmail account. From there I will give you my real address so I can compare your settings with mine. I run 8 instances on the same server and have had no issues so I know it can be made to work. I have changed the "a"'s in the address to X's to prevent spiders from automatically getting even my "trash" account. regards, Dan S. |

interaction with desktop is on the console only, you cannot have a console connection with w2k,(rdp sessions only) however this is posible on windows 2003, if you connect with mstsc /console.
otherwise you need to connect with vnc or other console capable tool. i run 2 instances on a dual p-3, and set each spamfilter on a single cpu, and their priority gets controlled by proces explorer from sysinternals. works great for me.(with 1 database of course) |

Rich, From the error you mention it seems that one or more of your instances are trying to listen on the same IP/port combination. You need to ensure that every instance listens on its own IP or port. Please check all your SpamFilter.INI files and look for the lines ListenIP= They must all be different (meaning you can't have two instances using the same combination of IP and port), and you can't have a blank IP (unless you use a different port for each of your instances) Roberto F. |
