This is hack-fixed in Outlook, but needs to be fixed in general. I imagine that there must be some sort of locale call that will convert between the current locale and English, and that this should be called as the option is set. Anyway, I'll get to this when I can. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2003-04-24 18:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 Options.py now uses locale.atoi and locale.atof to convert options. I *think* this will solve this problem, but I'm not 100%. If someone could do some testing, that would be great. I'm leaving open until I'm sure it's done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=725466&group_i…

On investigation I need to work on the options that turn into sets. This would have come up any time someone tried to set the value of one of those options (Outlook found the problem because one of the headers options is in the default ini file). I've checked in a 'fix' which just bypasses the validity check for sets for the moment. Previously there wasn't any checking, so no functionality is lost. As soon as I get time I'll look into fixing this properly. Leaving this open until that's done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=725307&group_i…

RE: [Spambayes] SMTP proxy
by Meyer, Tony April 24, 2003

April 24, 2003

> I download the source code from sourceforge; however, I do > not see a SMTP proxy included. There is mention of it in the > documentation. Is it not complete? In the spambayes directory you should have a file called smtpproxy.py. There it is. It is complete, although at the moment it's integrated with pop3proxy.py (it uses the pop3proxy caches). This would be simple to change (extend); as I've said before to the list, someone just has to give me a reason to do it. (Or do it themselves and submit a patch...) > One other thing, what kind > of success has anyone had integrating Spambayes into a server > side solution transparent to end users? One could use a > content filter on the mail server to delete the mail or > possible whatever else depending on the header that spambayes > tacked into the message. The FAQ has this to say: Q: This software is great! I want to implement it for all my users. Are there plans to develop a server-side spambayes solution? A: The problem with a server-side solution is that everyone has a different idea of what is spam - that's the whole strength of the bayesian-style filtering concept. If you are certain that *all* of your users would agree on what is spam and what is not, then this might work for you, but otherwise you really have to have individual databases for each user. Either way, you should be able to modify spambayes easily enough to fit into your setup. Please let the list know if you do have success in this area, and we'll update this answer. =Tony Meyer

RE: [Spambayes] YAIP (Yet Another IMAP Problem)

> Hmmm... maybe it would be a good idea to go back and see how > others have done it. I have used a variety of MUAs with this account > with no problem. And IMAPSpamBeGone and IMAPAssassin (simple perl > version of isbg) worked fine out of the box. The trouble is that we're doing more than isbg does. For one, isbg doesn't do any training. We're also doing things more 'correctly' - copying the message's original datestamp and flags, for example, plus finding the uid of the moved message, so that we keep it in our records (isbg would simply retrain it). Plus the whole UI business. The more we interact with the IMAP server, the higher the possibility that something will go wrong. One of these days, of course, you'll be able to say that the latest version of spambayes worked fine out of the box :) =Tony Meyer

That's definitely not the solution! As long as you're willing to keep on with the testing, this is what we need. We'll have tested with four different servers (NetMail, Courier, the one you are using, and the one David is using) once we're done, so hopefully that will cover most of the variations possible. As long as the server is following the RFC, then it's up to us to fix the problem. If we get a server that's bending the rules, then we'll see what we do :) =Tony Meyer

I'm not sure exactly what is causing it. Once thing I can suggest is that when testing with IMAP, if you could run the imapfilter with the option "-i4" and report the (much longer!) printout, that would be great (you can trim out message details, including the content, which isn't of interest). The -i switch sets the imap debugging level - I've found 4 to be quite useful (it gives a printout of each IMAP command and response). > Also, problem 2 - probably also related.

I imagine this is also > coming from the server, so it looks like it doesn't like the way > imapfilter is rewriting the headers. Now that's weird. The imapfilter doesn't assign the uid's, the server does that. Not sure how to proceed on this one, unless the imap debugging stuff gives a hint. =Tony Meyer

RE: [Spambayes] IMAPFilter trainingissues

> Looking at it again, it appears that it's the $ in "3 (FLAGS (\Seen > $MDNSent) UID 3)" which is causing the problems. > I've changed the regular expressions in _extract_fetch_data > to allow $ symbols in flags, which means the UIDs get picked up now. I wasn't aware that the $ character was valid in flag names (I ought to have checked...it's about the point where I need to have the imap RFC printed out and stuck to my wall ;). Turns out that anything apart from (,),{, ,ASCII chars 0x00 - 0x1f, 0x7f,*,%,\," is valid. I'll update the regex to reflect this. > Where there are multiple flags, the regex still only picks up the first > one, which could be a problem if a message is marked "\Seen" "\Deleted" > - the filter would pick up the deleted message. This is a different problem - I'll fix this too. =Tony Meyer
