Cerebrus Downloads

Contents

Downloads are currently only for the windows platform.

1. Stable Download

The download consists of an executable, some optional library modules, and the data files.  The data file is a token database of over seven thousand spam messages and non spam messages that is used by the Bayes engine so that you do not have to start training Cerebrus out of the box, and some windows library files for the embedded DyBase engine. The config file is a sample configuration file that is needed if you don't have one already.

2. Experimental Downloads

Use these at your own risk

Autoupdate at startup is now off by default.  If you need it, then use the -autoupdate command line parameter

Otherwise, update checking is done after each mail collection, and if available, will show up on the Cerebrus control panel as clickable text.

Hotmail downloading of email is now working.  In your email client set userid to mynick@hotmail.com, pop server to localhost, and email server type to pop3.

The Email Manager now is able to browse the HotMail ™ inbox.  Since this method only grabs the headers using the same method that OutLook Express ™ does, you are unable to filter on the messages for spam.  But you can delete.

This is used in the following way

  1. Enter your Hotmail ™ username in the userid field
  2. Enter your Hotmail password in the password field
  3. Enter “www.hotmail.com” in the POP Server field

and click on “engage” or hit return

Error trapping is very rudimentary at this stage.
