[Spambayes] Outlook 2003 problem

[Gregory De Schepper]

Dear developpers,

 

I'm Gregory De Schepper, studied ICT,  and I've been using your program for
more then a year. But I found a possible solution for the problem that
Outlook hangs after the initial installation of Spambayes. Outlook is
automatically restarted and the plugin is disabled. I enabled the DEP(Data
Execution Prevention - My CPU supports it) option in Windows XP so that all
programs and windows services are protected against buffer overflows. If
some applications don't support the option then I noted with one application
that Windows XP automatically relates this to the DEP option and offers
automatically to use an exception for this app. But it didn't report
anything when the Spambayes plugin was loaded during boot of Outlook what
causes Outlook to crash. I searched all day to make Spambayes work in
Outlook 2003 because I like your work. There wasn't any documentation
available about this specific problem but I'm sure that DEP can cause this
as one of the reasons not yet mentioned on the support pages. You can
reproduce this behaviour instantly by enabling DEP for all applications in
Windows XP and then load Spambayes for the first time.

 

I hope this helps and please keep me informed about your results.

 

Sorry, if this is not the right place to report a bug, but it can help.

 

Regards,

 

Gregory De Schepper
