DSPAM v3.6 Released

Nuclear Elephant writes "After six months of development, DSPAM v3.6 has been released. The most notable change is the series of new features added to make an anti-spam gateway appliance possible (Knoppix anyone?). Version 3.6 also includes a highly accurate alternative to Bayesian filtering known as Markovian discrimination, based on Bill Yerazunis' research. Other significant enhancements include trusted sender whitelisting, integrated Clam Antivirus and LDAP support, a centralized spam training alias, and a new dependency-free storage driver. Much of the documentation has also been rewritten to make installation easier. A change log and release notes are also available. Slashdot has recently featured a review of the author's book, Ending Spam and an interview as well."

Windows and Exchange.

[Jaruzel]

I know I'm going to get mauled over this quesiton... but has anyone compiled it on Windows 2003 server ?

For practical reasons I don't have linux in my test lab, and I'd like to have DSpam on my Webserver which is running IIS6 and Windows 2003 Server.

I can see I need to run it in SMTP mode with a relay to my Exchange box, but I don't want to waste my time trying to compile it (using Visual Studio), if someone already knows it wont work.

-Jar.

from the FAQ (http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/faq.shtml#1.15)

Q. Does it work with Windows?
A. v3.2 is the first to include a Windows build supplement, which includes the necessary Visual C++ project files and portage to compile the agent and tools under Windows. Check out the win32/ directory in the source tree for more information. Win32 support is still unofficial, but seems to work well. Of course getting it compiled is one thing, getting it integrated is another. It's probably best to build it under Cygwin using the general distribution.

Though this is only possibly with PHP, ideally running on a Debian system, it's the most important language to learn in the universe.

What kind of fuckwittery is this? No, plenty of languages can code a simple contact form handler, the platform you run it on is pretty irrelevant, and PHP is by no means "the most important language to learn in the universe". It's a pretty typical scripting language, not the magic you make it out to be.
