Ok i have the Evaluation copy of SF. I had it working (it was checking emails and logging them or moving them to the QD) but I had it on my mail servers ip address. So i setup another ip address dedicated just to SF and its working at least it is allowing emails to pass through (the header of the email registers it passing through SF) but when i have the SF console open it registers nothing it doesnt show any activity and shows nothing in the quaratine database. Help!

Doug,

I'm including the answer to another post in case it applies here (See section in bold)

===================

SpamFilter ISP can be run in two different ways. The first is as a Windows service (the most common - SpamFilterSvc.exe), the second is as a standalone application using SpamFilter.exe. The latter is mostly used for troubleshooting, even though several users have asked to be able to run SpamFilter in non-service mode.

If you are already running SpamFilter as a service, subsequently running the standalone application (SpamFilter.exe) will open a new instance of SpamFilter, it will not be the GUI for your service. Please note that the service does show display a GUI (launched from an icon in the tray bar), but if accessing a Windows 2000 server remotely using Terminal Services will not be able to display the GUI. This is because Terminal Services in Win2K is not able to display the server's physical console. Looking at the physical server's screen, or using a product like PCAnywhere, DameWare, VNC etc that display the actual screen will reveal the console. Microsoft fixed this in Windows 2003, where Terminal Services instead does allow RDP to connect on the Console 0. Some Terminal Services clients have a checkbox in their settings to connect to the console. In the XP Remote Desktop, Microsoft (in)conveniently decided to not make it available. You'll need to invoke Remote Desktop from the command line as follows to enable this:

mstsc -console
