If you have a chance (even just a few minutes) and are comfortable with running or at least testing SpamBayes from Subversion it would help if you could svn up and try the current state of affairs. You *will* need Python 2.4 or later. I run routinely with Python 2.7a0. I just ripped out all code which attempted to support Python 2.2 and 2.3. All sorts of stuff was previously not assumed to exist: textwrap, cStringIO, __file__, True/False, set, heapq, csv, enumerate, reversed Those are all assumed to just be there now. Support for Berkeley DB v1.85 databases is completely gone. If you were still using it you'll have to choose something else and retrain from scratch. Finally, and perhaps most significant, I checked in a new file at the top level, failing-unit-tests.txt. It's the output of me running BAYESCUSTOMIZE= nosetests --verbose . 2>&1 | tee failing-sb-tests.txt THere is lots of work to do to get this stuff passing. Lots of file cleanup as well, but that's secondary. If you an see how to make any failing tests pass that would be a huge boon. Of course, adding new test cases is always welcome. Skip

Updated Server-Side Recipe
by David Abrahams Jan. 25, 2009

Jan. 25, 2009

Hi, I've published an updated guide to doing IMAP-Server-Side spam filtering (my way) at http://wiki.github.com/techarcana/server-side-spambayes. You might want to remove the reference to http://www.boost-consulting.com/writing/server-side.html from http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/server_side.html and point to the github site instead. Incidentally, I don't see a way to navigate to http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/server_side.html from the SB home page. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Re: [spambayes-dev] sb_filter/lockfile interaction problem

Dave> I'm not missing anything here, am I? No. Probably a copy/paste where from a section of code using get_ident() to one where I wanted to use get_name(). I just registered version 0.7 with PyPI. Please give that a try.

Proposed tte extension
by David Abrahams Jan. 24, 2009

Jan. 24, 2009

I haven't coded it up yet, but usually when it seems that spambayes' performance is degraded, it means I've misclassified something. These messages tend to stay misclassified when training to exhaustion, even after 9 or 10 rounds. I'm contemplating an extension to tte.py that will throw them back into my unsure folder and start over if training doesn't stop on its own before N rounds due to everything being properly classified). Thoughts? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
