Hi All,

I have downloaded the current eval version, configured it and I am quite impressed overall.

However, when I install it as a service and try to start it, it fails.

I get 2 entries in the evnetlog....

1.   The SpamFilter service was successfully sent a start control.

2. The SpamFilter service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s)

I have enabled the debug logging, which works fine when fired up as a stand alone app, but no logs are created when firing up as a service.

Has anyone ever seen this before?? or can I not run the eval version as a service?? (not much of an eval if I can't)

Thanks in advance

Sorry that I didn't make everything clear in my origional post.

Yes, obviously I have stopped the foreground application first.

Yes, the service is configured to logon as the LocalSystem account and has "interact with desktop" checked.

I will send you the .ini file and the logfiles as you requested, however, please note that the service doesn't even write to your debug logfiles, it craps out well before that.
