This greatly increases the Spam Filter<\/span><span style=\"font-family: \'Times New Roman\',Times,Georgia,serif; color: #010100;\">\'<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\">s performance and makes it possible for you to run MDSpamD locally, on a separate computer, or have MDaemon use another MDSpamD (or any other Spam Daemon enabled product) running at some other location. By default MDSpamD runs locally and receives messages on port 783 at 127.0.0.1, but you can configure a different port and IP address if wish to send the messages to some other spam daemon running at a different location or on a different port.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_DialogSectionHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_DialogSectionHeading\">MDSpamD Configuration<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_ControlHeading\">Host or IP<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">This is the host or IP address to which MDaemon will send messages to be scanned by MDSpamD.
