Errors

What does "Error from SNFServer: cannot connect to socket (Connection refused)" mean?

This error occurs when SNF4SA is not able to connect to SNFServer.

You must have SNFServer installed and running for a SNF4SA plugin to work.

The SNF4SA plugin connects SpamAssassin to SNFServer. SNFServer performs the message scan and returns a result. The result is then interpreted by the plugin and provided to SpamAssassin.

If you don't already have it you can get the Message Sniffer distribution for Windows or *nix on the Product page.
