v.3.5.4.718 standard version, On the settings tab, service mode would keep breaking and thereby causing the mail flow to quit unless logged into the console.
Several service restarts and mode changes occurred to fix it, yet would keep reverting back to stand alone and not running as a service.  Finally, it took a complete uninstall and reinstall to fix. Seems to be running smooth for the last 12 hours. Problem cropped up yesterday, have been running this version since it's release with no problems. Anyone else had this happen?  |

MAS,
SpamFilter does not use registry entries (other than the one to make it appear in the "Add/Remove Programs" and the one for the Windows Service). All of the files used by SpamFilter are contained within the "SpamFilter" installation directory. For this reason, uninstalling/reinstalling usually has no effect, and there are usually other problems that are lingering if that procedure *appears* to have solved the issue. The most common problem consists in running multiple versions of SpamFilter concurrently (usually running the service and the standalone version at the same time), or in having another SMTP application (either a mail server or an antivirus server that also protects emails) running along with SpamFilter. Please the following section of our manual for some things to consider when running SpamFilter, and possible problems with Terminal Services. SpamFilter can run in two different ways.
If SpamFilter is already running as a service, subsequently running the standalone application (SpamFilter.exe) will open a new instance of SpamFilter, it will not be the GUI for the service. This will most likely create a conflict, as two applications cannot bind to the same port on a server. Please note that the SpamFilter service does show display a GUI (launched from an icon in the tray bar), but if you are accessing a Windows 2000 server remotely using Terminal Services will not be able to display the GUI. This is because Terminal Services in Windows 2000 is not able to display the server's physical console. Looking at the physical server's screen, or using a product like PCAnywhere, DameWare, VNC etc that displays the actual screen will reveal the console. Microsoft fixed this limitation in Windows 2003. In this version of the operating system, Terminal Services allows RDP clients to connect to the server's console. mstsc -console |
