Hi Roberto,

Is it possible to update this file in SpamFilter ?

Im asking this because this file returns to SpamFilter that the ip 220.95.122.165 is from Australia, but the MaxMind site says that its from Korea.

If its possible, where I can get this file ?

Thanks,

Abel.

Roberto,

 

Thanks for your quick reply, as usual.

Any Idea when SpamFilter will have the option to limit the size of a message ?

Im having some serious performance problems because sometimes some nice internauts decide to send a 200Mb or + size here.

 

Thanks,

Abel.

The file is imported just once on program startup. You will need to restart SpamFilter to have it read the new dat file.

Abel,

It's top on the list of to-do items. The next build will most likely have the max msg size limit.

Allan,

I apologize, the answer in my previous post was incorrect:

===WRONG=====
The file is imported just once on program startup. You will need to restart SpamFilter to have it read the new dat file.
=========

The GeoIP.dat file is actually read everytime a new connection is made, so there is no need to restart SpamFilter when it is updated.
