With great sadness I must now recommend that you uninstall BlueFrog - the most successful anti-spam tool todate. So successful that spammers launched such large attacks upon its infrastructure that ISP where nearly crippled. Read the events that lead to Blue Security's surrender here: http://bluefrogfreaks.blogspot.com/

Blue Frog did not fail - Blue Security did!

Maybe someone could continue the project but instead of having a centralised control network that can be targeted it could use a BitTorrent style peer-to-peer network for deploying commands to the frog.

Just flipping /3GB isn't enough for most programs. It has the effect on the kernel, true, but unless your process's executable has the Large Address Space Aware flag set, Windows won't actually give you the full 3GB space. Link your executable with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE or use EDITBIN.

By default .NET 1.1 processes dont have the Large Address Space Aware flag set so you must do this yourself. As you dont have linker options inside Visual Studio for C# projects I did this using a post build step, something like this:

call "$(DevEnvDir)..\Tools\VSVARS32.BAT"
editbin.exe /LARGEADDRESSAWARE "$(TargetPath)"

Now all that extra RAM is mine! muhahaaha.

[Update: and of course if you have signed your executable assembly, you will need to re-sign it with the sn.exe tool.]

The anti-spam group Blue Security whos tool Blue Frog I use has been under severe attack from the largest spammer (PharmaMaster) in the world. This tells me 1 thing - its working. These spammers wouldnt waste the time, effort or bandwidth if Blue Frog wasnt hurting their businesses. After receivng serevals threats myself I thought about stopping Blue Frog. But then they would have won. So I shall continue and would recommend the tool to even more people - this stuff works!

Aside from blackmail emails sent to community members, there were two separate attacks on Blue Security itself. The first attack was to block worldwide access to Blue Security's corporate website by tampering with the Internet backbone using a technique called "Blackhole Filtering". The Second attack was a DDoS attack on Blue Security's operational system.
