    PMMail 1.95, 1.96, 2.0 and higher


Installation Instructions

First, unzip the download file into a temporary directory. 

Next, change to the directory where you unzipped the files and
run the INSTALL program. Or if you prefer, open the folder or
drive object that contains the unzipped Junk Spy files and
double click on the INSTALL icon.

When the installation program starts, it will ask you where
to install Junk Spy.  

Once you've specified a directory, the installation program
will begin to copy the files.  When the installation is
complete, you'll have a folder for Junk Spy on your OS/2
desktop.

Open the folder and start Junk Spy by double clicking on the
program object.  Alternatively, if you open an OS/2 command
window, you can change to the Junk Spy directory and run
JUNKSPY from the command line.

Your next step should be to follow the Getting Started Guide
for your specific email program.  It's located in the Junk Spy
documentation folder and will take you step by step through
the process of configuring your email program to communicate
with Junk Spy.  Following these directions will insure that
Junk Spy can properly interact with both your email program
and your mail server.


Getting Junk Detection Updates 
(Not Available to Evaluation Users)

One of Junk Spy's important features is the ability to
automatically receive and process updates via email.  

This service is available only to licensed users of
Junk Spy, and is initially based on contact information
provided when the product was purchased.

After purchase, you'll receive a password to use with
your license number for access to the Junk Spy Detection
Update Center at:

      http://www.JunkSpy.com/updatecenter.html

We strongly suggest that you change the password right
away to something that is meaningful to you.

The Junk Spy Detection Update Center is the place to go
if you need to change the email address that your Junk
Spy updates are sent to. In addition, you'll see when
updates have been sent and can have them resent to you,
if necessary.


Changes Of Interest to Upgraders

Junk Spy 3.0 contains several new detectors.  Not all 
of these new detectors are enabled by default since not
all of them are appropriate for use by all customers.
For more information on why you may or may not want to
enable these detectors, visit:

      http://www.JunkSpy.com/detectors.html


Several changes have been made in the default options for 
certain Junk Spy settings.  If you install 3.0 over an
earlier version, you may wish to consider the following
changes:

    * By default, Junk Spy will now automatically accept
      detection updates without displaying a confirmation
      message window.  If you are upgrading, this option
      is automatically enabled.  If you prefer to receive
      a confirmation message before an update is processed,
      uncheck the new Automatically Accept Updates option
      in the Update Settings.

    * By default, Junk Spy will assume that messages
      larger than 300K in total size are not junk.  This
      option, Bypass Detection For Messages Larger Than,
      has always been available in the Detector Settings
      but it has not enabled by default and your current
      settings for this option are not changed when you
      install 3.0 over an earlier version.  If you are 
      upgrading and have not previously turned on this
      option, you may wish to do so and set the bypass
      size to 300 kilobytes.

    * By default Junk Spy will now mark the subject line
      of junk messages.  This option, Mark Subject Field,
      has always been available in the Detector Settings
      but it has not been enabled by default and your 
      current settings for this option are not changed 
      when you install 3.0 over an earlier version.  If
      you are upgrading, you may or may not wish to turn
      this option on.

    * A new log, the Activity Log, has been added to
      record the decisions made by Junk Spy during the
      processing of each message.  It not only includes
      the reason why a message may have been marked as
      junk (as the Detection Log has always done) but it
      also includes the reason why a message may not have
      been marked (such as matching a Global Exception
      or being bypassed due to the message size).  This
      log is enabled by default and controlled using the
      Record In Activity Log option in the Detector
      Settings.  (The traditional option which controlled
      recording in the Detection log has been renamed
      to clarify the difference between the two.)


Limitations

Listed below are some known limitations which may impact your
use of the current version of Junk Spy.

    * Junk Spy works correctly with most OS/2 TCP/IP versions.
      An exception is TCP/IP 4.1 unless MPTS FixPak WR08620 is
      applied.  This version of TCP/IP is relatively uncommon
      so this issue probably does not apply to your system.
      However, if you are unsure which version of TCP/IP is on
      your system, the Junk Spy About dialog will display the
      version information for you.

    * Use of Junk Spy's option to delete (rather than flag)
      incoming junk email should not be used with PMMail, Post
      Road Mailer or MR2/ICE (due to limitations in the way 
      they communicate with mail servers).

    * A very few users have reported difficulty using Junk Spy
      in a DHCP environment.  Junk Spy is compatible with DHCP
      clients, but may have difficulty with certain DHCP
      parameters.  If you are experiencing problems with Junk
      Spy on a DHCP system please contact technical support.

    * Junk Spy cannot currently be used with POP3 servers
      which require Secure Password Authentication (such
      as those used by MSN).  We hope to remove this
      limitation in a future version.

    * Junk Spy cannot currently be used with POP3 servers
      which require Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection.
      We hope to remove this limitation in a future version.
