SpamAssassin, as a powerful tool to block spam on LinuxVPS, has been widely liked by webmasters. In fact, SpamAssassin can also be installed on Windows servers, and used with hmailserver or other email servers. SpamAssassin for Windows is provided by Jam Software. After the official installation package is installed, you can only run the program manually without being used as a service by other programs. Of course, there is no way to install SpamAssassin. Let's talk about how to install SpamAssassin on a windows Server and register it as a service.

After saving the file, you can test it. If you can see the test information, it indicates that spamd is working properly. Otherwise, an error is reported.

Right-click the item and choose Parameters.
