There is no limitation that services cannot access files. There must be something else different between your service and your standalone .exe.

If you were getting ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (5) instead of ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2) I would suspect a permissions issue, but this seems to be a case of trying to open a device that isn't there.

Check your relay settings.  To do so, open a command prompt on the server and type
    telnet localhost smtp

then enter the following one line at a time

EHLO localhost
MAIL FROM: <w3b###devil.com>

Muck around with the settings until the RCPT TO response is an OK.

SpamAssassin... destroyed a order recipe with tracking info!


We have SpamAssassin insert a header that looks like this:

X-Spam-Score: ******** plus more stuff ...

The number of asterisks is the score of the spam (between 5 and 40)

People who are sensitive to spam can set up a rule on their Inbox to look for:
X-Spam-Score: *****
This catches everything that even looks like spam.

People who are less sensitive to spam can set up a less restrictive rule:
X-Spam-Score: ********
This is a little more lenient.

A number of explanations occur to me.

A1: all rows of tripleg have status3 = 1
A2: there are some rows of tripleg where status3 != 1, but totalamtbilled is 0 for all of them
A3: there are some rows of tripleg where status3 != 1 and totalamtbilled > 0; but there are also some rows of tripleg where status3 != and totalamtbilled < 0 and the sum of all the positive amounts is exactly offset by the sum of all the negative amounts
A4: the date column is not a varchar but a datetime, and there's only a few rows that happen to be exactly 06/15/06 00:00:00.000

To see which answer is correct, do:

select * from tripleg where date = '06/15/06' and status3 != 1
select * from tripleg where date != '06/15/06' and datediff(day, date, '06/15/06') = 0
