SpamBayes

Hi guys, Small note on install - i had some (brief) trouble installing as everything logged success but no toolbar appeared. Your guide recommends a restart of outlook to make it visible and this was in fact all that was required, however closing the GUI was not enough: In some installations, MS outlook will maintain a running process even when the outlook GUI is shutdown... this prevents the spambayes toolbar from appearing as restarting the GUI still runs under the same process. (I closed the GUI, terminated the process and then restarted the GUI to properly complete the installation) This might be worth addition to the trouble shooting guide for installation! cheers, ian

Receiving Duplicate Messages in Inbox
by Adam Aronson July 1, 2003

Since installing SpamBayes Outlook Addin I am receiving multiple copies of emails in my inbox and other folders where I have rules set up to move messages once they are received. I am using Outlook 2002 (10.4719.4219) SP-2 and Windows XP Professional. The only other add ins I have installed are the Dymo Label Printer Add In and the Mappoint Add In. Any ideas...? Thanks! Adam

Just a quick question about SpamBayes
by Steve Bolton July 1, 2003

July 1, 2003

First off.. So far I'm liking this product.. It works well and doesn't "pause" Outlook at all like my previous package did. Great job so far! The question: If I set the "Deleted Items" folder as being the place to put spam will any old mail I delete that isn't spam be now trained as spam? (By delete I mean dragging it to the deleted items folder or pressing the Delete key... NOT via the Delete As Spam button). Personally I don't want to have to be constantly following emails through separate directories to eventually get rid of spam... I prefer my spamfilter app to be able to move what it thinks is spam straight to the Deleted Items folder and ever so often I can quickly browse that for any familiar names that shouldn't be there and then just empty the folder. I don't want to have to go to a "middleman" directory to check the emails.. Then select them and move to the deleted items folder.. And then actually delete them. Just too many steps.. Especially with the already extra step of an "unsure if spam" directory as well to go through. Also I was wondering if there was a way of backing up the brains of the filter once trained so that later on after a reinstall of the operating system the trained settings can be restored quickly without having to keep backup collections of spam around to go through the training process again. I'd tried to find the answers on your site, the faq & installed docs so please forgive me if I missed the answer somewhere. So far I'm extremely impressed, it's a very non-intrusive system. Thanks Steve

ANNOUNCE: New SpamBayes binary for Outlook available
by Mark Hammond July 1, 2003

July 1, 2003

Version 0.3 of the Outlook addin for SpamBayes is available from: http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/spambayes This version should fix most installation problems experienced by would-be users of the 0.2 release. It also has a large number of bug fixes, and a number of new minor features. For information on the new features, see the new 'Configuration Guide', included in the release. This version is significantly more cautious about when it saves configuration and training data, so should be far more stable - all users of previous versions are encouraged to upgrade. If you have any problems, please see the "troubleshooting guide" included with the product. This, and all other information can be found via the "about.html" file, also included. An online version of this document can be found at: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/spambayes/spambaye s/Outlook2000/about.html For more information or other queries, please mail the spambayes mailing list - spambayes(a)python.org. Regards, Mark

I had trouble installing version 2 (it installed fine, was checked in the addin box and remained so, but never showed up in the toolbar), so I went with the source version. I'd love to try out the new binary but I'm unsure how to uninstall the source version. Can anyone can tell me the steps to backup and remove the source version? _Lea

Oops. Forgot logs. I appreciate the quick response to my previous post. Over the past night the database corrupted again, except this time there was no power outage. I've attached the two most recent logs. I receive upwards of a thousand emails (worms and spam) per day. I guess that would agitate any and all bugs in the system. Ido.
