Win 2k/XP + Eudora?
by Skip Montanaro March 26, 2003

March 26, 2003

I've been asked to take a look at installing Spambayes for a user in one of the departments. She's running Win2k/XP and uses Eudora as her email client. Sounds like I will need to install Python+pop3proxy for her. I seem to recall something odd about Eudora and different POP servers. Is that only when using multiple POP servers? Thanks, Skip

__del__ in DBDictClassifier?
by Skip Montanaro March 25, 2003

March 25, 2003

Is there some reason the storage.DBDictClassifier class doesn't implement a __del__ method which calls store()? If not, I'm going to add one. Skip

Re: [Spambayes] filtering in the face of disk quotas or full disks

Eh, in that case, it's not spambayes's problem. Mail delivery is outside the scope of a classifier. At most, pop3proxy's private cache would be affected... but I don't think that's how you'd be using the system in a server-based environment. - Alex

Re: [Spambayes] Binaries for MSwin

From: Terrel Shumway <tshumway(a)jdiworks.net> > Sounds fine to me - except I would raise the bar a little - why not make a > pop3propxy *binary* release for Windows too - then the problem becomes > moot- on Windows you get a binary. one more reason to publish binaries for mswin: ZoneAlarm. popfile, written in perl, forces the average[1] user to allow all perl programs to access the internet -- a gaping hole in your firewall. (I consider this a defect in ZoneAlarm's design, but I don't think it is going away anytime soon.) --- [1] a sophisticated user could create a private copy of perl.exe and call it popfile.exe Or a sophisticated _installer_ program could make that copy (or symlink) of perl.exe itself, name it popfile.exe, and all would be well. -Bill Y.
