+ = Pyzor on Windows = 
+ 
+ It is possible to make Pyzor work on Windows with a little extra effort.
+ 
+  * Download and install ActivePython from www.activestate.com.
+  * Download and install Pyzor from http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/. You'll need something that can un-bzip2 the files. Installing simply means running the following from the folder you extracted pyzor into:{{{
+ python setup.py build
+ python setup.py install
+ }}}
+  * Create a pyzor.bat in your python folder (c:\python24 by default when I installed it), containing the following line, modified for your python folder path.{{{
+ @c:\python24\python scripts/pyzor %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 
+ }}}
+  * Edit /Lib/site-packages/pyzor/client.py with the following changes:
+    * Find signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, handle_timeout) and put a # in front of it.
+    * Find the section for: def time_call(self, call, varargs=(), kwargs=None): and change it to read like this:{{{
+     def time_call(self, call, varargs=(), kwargs=None):
+         if kwargs is None:  kwargs  = {}
+         return apply(call, varargs, kwargs)
+ }}}
+  * Create a folder somewhere for the pyzor config files. You can use your spamassassin folder if you like as it only creates a single file called servers. This must be on the same drive as your python installation.
+  * From a command prompt in the python folder context, run the following where /python/pyzor is the folder you created in the previous step.{{{
+ pyzor --homedir /python/pyzor discover
+ }}}
+  * Now you are ready to configure SpamAssassin to use it.
+  * Edit your /site/lib/mail/spamassassin/Util.pm. Find the "sub helper_app_pipe_open_windows" section and the line that reads{{{
+ if ($stdinfile) { $cmd .= " <'$stdinfile'"; }"
+ }}} and replace it with{{{
+ if ($stdinfile) { $cmd .= " <\"$stdinfile\""; }"
+ }}} because Windows won't pipe a file with single quotes around it.
+  * Edit v310.pre and uncomment the load for the Pyzor plugin.
+  * Edit your local.cf and add configuration lines for pyzor. For example:{{{
+ use_pyzor   1
+ pyzor_path c:\python24\pyzor.bat
+ pyzor_options --homedir /python24/pyzor
+ }}}
+  * That should do it. If you do a spamassassin --lint -D you should see pyzor
