In addition to minor changes in the PMAIL.INI file, you should look at the BASIC.PNC


In my test I found this file is different from what I had in my
C:\PMAIL\MAIL\BASIC.PNC


Enabled = N
SetName = Added Spam Finding
Blacklist = BLACK.PML
Whitelist = white.pml
TriggerWeight = 50
Action = 7
Parameter = spam
RuleFile = C:\PMAIL\MAIL\spamadd.dat
LBL_Size = 0
Order = 0
MaxSize = 1000
Flags = 29
End


and a new installed C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN\BASIC.PNC
Enabled = N
SetName = Basic Spam Detection
Blacklist = black.pml
Whitelist = white.pml
TriggerWeight = 50
Action = 7
Parameter = Junk or suspicious mail
RuleFile = spambust.dat
LBL_Size = 0
Order = 0
Flags = 28
End


RuleFile line has different names and one has path
Seems that it defaults to not being Enabled, so might make no difference.


Not clear on how useful the spamhaulter is with Pegasus. Seems it is more linked to Mercury??
Mine was originally set to Enabled = Y, but changed it to N recently.
Don't know why or when name for RuleFile changed to spamadd.dat to spambust.dat.

BASIC.PNC is the configuration file for Content Control. That fact that it is different should not be surprising. The one you had reflects changes made to Content Control configuration. It set the destination to a folder named "spam" which is not a default folder, and it uses a commands file named "spamadd.dat" which is not a file provided by Pegasus Mail.


As for Spamhalter, it does not have anything to do with Mercury. It is an alternate or complimentary spam detection tool to Content Control. It works great by itself.

Interestly the dates and sizes of files.
6531 Aug 13 2015 SPAMADD.DAT
28583 Apr 9 2010 SPAMBUST.DAT


With the latest clean install get this
28583 Sep 8 00:24 SPAMBUST.DAT


But the 2010 version and 2022 version of the file are identicle.
