AutoUpdateRules
(True | False)

Automatically run update for SpamAssassin rules (recommended!). The interval for updating the rule set can be specified in SaUpdateIntervalInDays.
Default: True (enabled)
 

AvoidRestartOnAllOverCpuUsage
(0 - 100)

Avoid restart of 'SpamD' when CPU usage is over the specified value.
Default: 80 (percent)
 

AvoidRestartOnSpamDCpuUsage
(0 - 100)

Avoid restart of SpamAssassin daemon (spamd.exe) if CPU load of the daemon is above the specified value. This ensures that a restart isn't triggered while the daemon is processing mails.
Default: 1 (percent)
 

CustomCommandLine

Defines the complete command line for the SpamAssassin daemon. It is used only if the UseCustomCommandLine option is set to "True". In that case the individual start parameters listed further below are ignored completely.

Attention: This value should be changed by experienced users only.
Default: empty
 

DebugService
(True | False)

Turns on the debug mode of SpamAssassin in a Box. The debug information is stored in the Windows Event Viewer. To turn on the debug mode of the daemon itself, use the DebugSpamD option.
Default: False (disabled)
 

NumberOfLogsKept

Specifies the number of log files that are kept in the "sa-logs" folder. By default, ten log files will be kept which equals a period of ten days. A value of 0 disables keeping older log files.
Default: 10
 

PingCheckTryCount

Specifies how many attempts the service makes to reach the SpamAssassin daemon over the network. If all attempts fail, the daemon is restarted. During operation this check runs at most every 120 seconds. A value of 0 disables the check.
Default: 3
 

ProxyURL

The proxy URL that is used for network communication. If this value is empty, the proxy server that is defined in the internet settings of the system is used.
Default: empty
 

SaUpdateIntervalInDays

Specifies the interval in days between each SpamAssassin rules update.
Default: 3
 

SaUpdateParameters
 

Contains the parameters for executing the SpamAssassin rules update tool (sa-update). The channelfile contains the servers that are used when updating the rule set. For more information regarding sa-update, please see the official SpamAssassin docs.
Default: --nogpg --verbose --channelfile=UpdateChannels.txt --updatedir="C:\ProgramData\JAM Software\spamdService\sa-rules"
 

SaUpdateTimeoutInSeconds

Specifies how long the service waits for "sa-update.exe" to finish. If this time elapses, the update is aborted and retried at the next interval.
Default: 300 (seconds)
 

SpamDStartupTimeoutInSeconds

Specifies how long the service waits for the SpamAssassin daemon to report that it is ready after being started. On heavily loaded systems with a large rule set, increasing this value can be useful.
Default: 60 (seconds)
 

SpamdRestartIntervalInMinutes
 

Specifies the interval for restarting 'SpamD' (in minutes).
Default: 60
 

UseCustomCommandLine
(True | False)

Determines whether to use the command line assembled from the individual start parameters or the command line defined via the CustomCommandLine option.
Default: False (disabled)
 

UseSeperateLogFiles
(True | False)

If this option is enabled, the service will create a new log file for the SpamAssassin daemon each day. If this option is disabled, the SpamAssassin daemon will always use the same log file. The most current log file is named "SpamD.log". Older log files are named in the form "SpamD.bak0.log", "SpamD.bak1.log", etc.
Please note: In the configuration file this option is in fact spelled "UseSeperateLogFiles".
Default: True (enabled)
