Junk Spy (tm) for OS/2 from Sundial Systems
Release Notes (README.TXT) for Junk Spy Version 1.01
June 2000


Thank you for trying Junk Spy Version 1.0 for OS/2.  This file
contains information which supplements the on-line documentation as
well as other key information to help you get started.


What is Version 1.01?

Version 1.01 is a maintenance release of the Junk Spy 1.0 series.
In general, the features of this version are identical to earlier
releases within the 1.0 series -- the primary differences are a
small number of bug fixes and other corrections.  The following
feature has been added that is not described elsewhere in the
documentation:

Netscape Priority Boost: Because Netscape 4.61 sets the priority of
its threads higher than normal, Junk Spy might be starved for CPU
resources while retrieving mail on a heavily loaded system. Junk
Spy now has an option to boost the priority of its POP3 connection
threads to better balance its resource needs with those of
Netscape. To enable this feature add the command line parameter
/NETSCAPEBOOST to the Parameters section of your Junk Spy program
object if you are using Netscape 4.61 as your email program and you
notice slow response when retrieving your mail.  This option gives
Junk Spy more resources only while it is actually processing
incoming mail and thus will not impact your system at other times.


Compatibility

OS/2, Presentation Manager, and Workplace Shell Compatibility:

Junk Spy is designed specifically for use with OS/2 Version 3 or
4 and the Workplace Shell.  This includes all of the following
releases:

    OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business
        "General Availability" release
    OS/2 Warp 4
        "General Availability" release
    OS/2 Warp Server
        "General Availability" release
    OS/2 Warp Connect
        "Red Box" (for use with Windows) release
        "Blue Box" (with Win-OS2) release

Most "FixPak" levels of the above have also been tested.

Note: Warp 3 is ONLY supported when the networking portion of Warp
Connect has been installed.


Email Program Compatibility:

Junk Spy works with most POP3 email programs.  Sundial Systems
has specifically tested Junk Spy with the following OS/2 email
clients:

    jStreet Mailer and Polarbar Mailer
    MR/2 ICE 1.6x 
        (preliminary testing has also been done with 2.0)
    Netscape 2.02 Service Level 8, 4.04, 4.61
    Post Road Mailer 3.0
    PMMail 1.95, 1.96, 2.0x


Installation Instructions

First, if you downloaded Junk Spy or received it electronically, 
unzip the files into a temporary directory. 

Next, change to the directory where you unzipped the files, or
to the diskette on which you received Junk Spy. From there, run
INSTALL.EXE.

Or if you prefer, open the folder or drive object that contains
the unzipped Junk Spy files and double click on the
INSTALL.EXE icon.

When INSTALL.EXE starts, it will ask you where to install Junk
Spy.  (Note to Junk Spy Prerelease Users: Version 1.0 may be
installed over PreRelease 3 and higher.)

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 the
JUNKSPY.EXE executable 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

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.sundialsystems.com/junkspy/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.


Limitations

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

    * TCP/IP version 4.1 has several known problems.  Before
      using Junk Spy please upgrade to TCP/IP 4.2 by installing
      MPTS FixPak 8620.  You can download this update from
      ftp://ps.software.ibm.com/ps/products/mpts/fixes/english-us/wr08620/

      NOTE: This update only applies to TCP/IP 4.1 and is not
      compatible with the TCPIP 4.0 included with Warp 4.  Junk
      Spy will function correctly with these earlier versions.

    * 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 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.
