<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>First, let me say that SpamBayes seems nearly perfect. I can’t
get over the accuracy with which it identifies spam.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’m having a problem with the SpamBayes Outlook client
v0.81 that I can’t figure out. Frequently, it fails to _<i><span
style='font-style:italic'>move</span></i>_ spam if the spam is the most recent
email in the inbox at the time Outlook is started. Please note that SpamBayes
does process the message and identify it as spam, it simply fails to move the
message from the Inbox for some reason.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>This is a very specific failure. If Outlook is running when
the spam arrives, it is always moved. If the spam isn’t the most recent
piece of mail in the inbox, it is always moved. The problem only occurs when
Outlook is being opened and the most recent piece of mail in the inbox is spam.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have verified that the emails in question should have been
moved by looking at the log. The log shows that the message was processed and
identified as spam. Looking at the spam clues for the message, the message in
question almost always has a 99%+ spam rating.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’ve enabled background filtering with a 10 s start
delay and a 0.5 s processing delay.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The email account being filtered resides on an Exchange
server. All but one of the rules I’m using are server side rules, and
cannot interfere with SpamBayes when Outlook is started; they’ve
fired on the message well before Outlook knows the message exists.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I do have _<i><span style='font-style:italic'>one</span></i>_
rule that is client side. That rule is “Apply this rule after the message
arrives: notify me using ‘You have new messages.’ except with ‘yahoo.com’
or ‘aol.com’ or ‘hotmail.com’ or ‘msn.com’
or ‘pslgroup.com’ or ‘.ca’ or ‘.us’ or ‘.de’
or ‘.cc’ or ‘.fr’ or ‘.nl’ in the sender’s
address.”</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Any ideas?</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
