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
- used the instsrv command to create the service instance, each with a different name
- added the necessary line in the registry.

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.

Dan,

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

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)
