The SpamFilter GUI is fully functional in both licensed and the free version. In the free version however there is a limitation on the web inteface, as mentioned on the download page at http://www.logsat.com/sfi-download.asp
==============
Download the ASP and PHP sample web interfaces here (06/26/03). (In the free version of SPAMFilter, the web interface will not deliver emails to the recipients.)

Regarding the small business license, we've alway tried to keep SpamFilter's licensing as simple as possible, and we do that by not licensing per number of users, but just by number of servers the software is installed on. You are correct that the side effect is that while this may be good for larger companies, smaller ones may not agree.<P CLASS="ASPForums">

Please also note that we do offer a discounted home license, for private, non-commercial home users who receive less than 500 emails per day.<P CLASS="ASPForums">

Torsten,

The SpamFilter GUI will not deliver any emails triggered by the web interface in the free version. That does include emaimls that would be delivered when registering for the web quarantine. We will update the documentation to make this more clear, we apologize.

Regarding your 2nd question (which we missed in our reply, again sorry), yes, that is unusual. Can you please check the SpamFilter.ini file and look for the entry:

AutoWhiteListForceDeliveryFileName=

Does the file indicated there have a full path prefixing it or is there by any chance just a file name withou path? If it's the latter case, could you please scan all your hard drives for all instances of the "AutoWhiteListForceDelivery.txt" files? It's possible that if the path is missing, there may be a file somewhere on your hard drive that is used instead. If so, adding a full path to the SpamFilter.ini file should fix the problem.
