Hello Kevin,
I agree with you regarding my ambitions V ability. I have decided to
give up. I do however still want to find something for free and using
online lookups, but I appreciate that's not for here. I'm aware I am
resisting one or two commercial desktop solutions apparently offering
what I'm looking for.

I need the ability for SA to connect to SSL connections as well as insecure
ones, so I don't know if I have to install extra bits for that, maybe including
openSSL and Stunnel on Cygwin. Again, I have seen bits and pieces implying
this may be the case.
If you are one person trying to filter spam for one mailbox on a single-user
Windows system, why do you need a filtering product that will listen on more
than one connection, much less more than one type of connection?
What I meant is; I have various POP accounts from various suppliers,
some requiring or offering a secure connection, and some not.
Separate question: have you considered switching to an ISP that provides spam
filtering as part of their email service, and save yourself all the bother?
I currently have a mixture of free POP email accounts from Yahoo/BT
Internet, UK Online and Sky(Gmail), all of which offer some method of
junk filtering but I believe none specifically use SpamAssassin. I do
prefer doing any spam detection myself at desktop level anyway, hence my
obsession with SA being arguably the best, although sadly not aimed at
desktops for free.
For info, my internet connection itself is provided by the ISP UK Online.
