McAfee, Approaching the End

Okay, I've taken some steps.

I took a closer look at SpamBayes last night, and while it looks good, it also looks WAY too complicated to bother with. I'd need to switch to Outlook 2000 to use it, or else I'd have to install something called PYTHON as well as the SpamBayes source code. No. I am not going to do that.

So I downloaded POPfile instead. It installed quite smoothly. The next step will be to uninstall McAfee's SpamKiller and set up POPfile to work with Agent and with Teri's email (she uses Outlook Express). After that, we'll start training it. Should be fun.

I don't suppose I'll be able to get a refund from McAfee, but I'll be free of their crappy software.

While I'm at it...
