SpamAssassin Talk list Thank you all,
I have now found what my problem is. Unfortunately I can't fix it without my software being customized. So now I wait on them for that, then I should have it working. Hopefully by the end of the week. The explanation: Windows 2000 server Running perl DMail for windows (http://www.netwin.com) Dmail launches a spawned process that allows me to do what I want with the message depending on a return value. There in lies the problem as the batch files and/or pl scripts all want to do something with the message or deliver it. Since DMail is not allowing them to modify the temp file and does not recognize the newly generated piped file it can't handle it under my configuration. Since other DMail users are having success under the *nix platform they are not limited by this constraint. Netwin will modify the smtp agent to accommodate this slight windows specific oddity and then we'll be off and running. Kevin Gagel wrote: > > Yes, I thought that was the idea.
