#import "C:\BSProcessor.exe" no_namespace
 
int main()
{
      _bstr_t strEmail = "actual body of email to be checked";
      _bstr_t strTo = "email address(s) to which it was sent";
      _bstr_t strCC = "email address(s) to which it was carbon copied";
      long DefID = 0;
      long mySD = 5;
 
      _variant_t result = 1;

      _SpamProcessorPtr ptr;





      
      CoInitialize(NULL);

      ptr.CreateInstance(__uuidof(SpamProcessor));

      result = ptr->isSPAM(strEmail,strTo,strCC,mySD,&DefID);

      CoUninitialize();

 
      return 0;
}
