<DIV><SPAN class=609112516-01032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'd
suggest getting them to do a scan of the local disks of the server looking for
'bayes*' files - if they exist you'll be able to copy them to the MailScanner
box, and hey presto! - a pre-trained bayes database.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I've been running MailScanner for
a while for a few clients. I just signed on a new client that was using
SpamKiller by Mcafee I believe. The main reason for the service is for
queueing their mail when their Exchange server goes down which it has been
every weekend due to scheduled power outages. However, they are still relying
on the Spam and Virus filtration.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The problem is that they decided
to turn off SpamKiller the other day, and started getting spam that they
assumed MailScanner would stop. Bottom line is that when SpamKiller is
enabled, they get close to no spam at all. Some of the samples that they sent
me are the very basic couple of lines type of spam that gets a very low score.
Here is what I have running:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
