I have run SA on Windows for several years. Most built-in stuff works just fine. With a couple small modifications, you can even store your bayes and awl stuff in MSSQL. DCC/Razor/Pyzor don't work. It's difficult to get stuff that needs to compile to actually compile-- for example, DomainKeys support is not a straightforward install though it can be done. I'm not sure sa-compile works. I started working on the compatibility issues at one point, but our stated direction for email is now outsourcing, so I'm not spending time debugging SA but getting stuff integrated with the new email solution. I find SA to be rather CPU-intensive, and have had many days this year where email got backlogged by a couple hours and was unable to catch up during business hours. Of course, the CPU load can be lessened by running less rules, but doing so makes SA less effective as well. We've had to opt for less effective so that we don't get overloaded as often. I'm not sure these are entirely Windows issues, though. I don't see SA crashing like it used to on Windows. It's been very stable that way. However, some email messages take a long time to process, so make sure your timeout value is set really high. I'm thankful that we've gotten the multithreading issues resolved to the point where one message doesn't hold up the rest any longer. I would recommend it if you've got the power to spare. Bret
