Spambayes Will Not Open
by Dr. Michael Hennigan July 31, 2003

July 31, 2003

After using SpamBayes for 3 months ( and love it ) the plug in disappeared . I reloaded the file and despite checking the COM plug in, it will not stay checked. So I downloaded again (newer version) and I get a popup window asking me to close Outlook - but it is not open. Help.

True, but it most likely supports some sort of add-ins. It's possible that a chunk of the Windows Outlook plug-in code could be reused around whatever add-in support the mac version has. OTOH, I've heard that Microsoft has dropped plans to continue Outlook on the mac and are going to concentrate on Entourage instead, so that would probably be a more sensible target for a mac plug-in. =Tony Meyer

Spambayes Outlook v5 problems
by Ken Long July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

One of our users is having intermittent trouble with the plugin on Outlook 2000. It seems to filter some of the time, but not always. For example, this morning when he came in and started his computer, about 15 messages went to definite spam, a few went to maybe spam, and some were legit. But about 7 or 8 were not filtered at all. I set up the "Spam" field so we'd see the percentages in his inbox, and the unfiltered messages have nothing in that field (not even 0%). Other messages do have a percentage showing though, so it seems to be just some messages doing it. Any ideas? On the bright side, it works perfectly on my PC with Outlook XP! Great job! Ken Long

RE: [Spambayes] expected behaviour in Outlook2k

Tried the 0.6 version, and so far, the problem with the messages being marked as unread looks like it is solved. However, a new problem that didn't exist previously is now showing up. One of the systems that Spambayes is running on runs OL (OL2002 SP1 on XP Pro SP1) as 'Administrator', and as such, receives a lot of undeliverable email. Some of he messages that this account receives has an icon (in the message list window for Inbox) that looks like a metered postage mark with a red arrow in the center; these are from 'spam-loops' (my mail servers bounces message to address in 'From:' due to bad 'To:' address; other server responds by bouncing message back because the orginal 'From:' address was bad). Anyway, in 0.3 and prior (skipped 0.5), this was not a problem as the SpamBayes correctly handled the messages; with 0.6, the message is not moved and a 'No mail items are selected' dialog is displayed after message is selected and hitting 'Delete As Spam'. wait for 0.7? > -----Original Message----- > From: Meyer, Tony [mailto:T.A.Meyer@massey.ac.nz] > Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 5:24 PM > To: Clyde L.

> From the setup you describe, your client should install the > latest version of the outlook add-in binary. As long as they are using Outlook 2000 on _Windows_, and not macs like the server is. The Outlook plugin is windows-specific. It might be possible to create a mac version without rewriting from scratch; I'm not sure - it depends how different the two versions are (could be very!). If they're using Mac Outlook then they should use pop3proxy. It's not as nice as the plugin to use, but they've already got the advantage of using a nicer computer, why should they have everything? ;) > Some people have > used to the source code to build server-side solutions, but > I don't think any are included in distribution yet. That's correct. The Eudora you mentioned - this is Eudora Internet Mail Server, not the email client, yes? It would probably be fairly simple to integrate spambayes into the server; I've heard that the plugin support is quite good - but AFAIK, no-one has done this yet. =Tony Meyer

I haven't used it at all, so I can't really say anything else, but it would be worth a look. I believe that the Outlook plugin just uses something that Mark cooked up ;) =Tony Meyer

HELP!!!
by Rick Friedman July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

Hi, I would like to try your software on our Power Mac mail server. One problem, I know hardly nothing about MAC. Is there a manual on how to install the software? Like "How to install Spambayes for dummy's" The mail server is using Eudora and our clients are using Outlook 2000. Thank you so much!!! RICK FRIEDMAN I.T.

Thank you for taking your time to read this email... it could be benefical for you! I'm a single woman with a limited income. I was tired of being broke and having money problems so I decided it was time that I did something about that. I received mail offers, looked in newspapers, magazines, EVERYWHERE, trying to find something that I could do from home, but all I found was someone asking for money for information or if there was money to be made, I would be lucky if I made penneys per hour. I spent good money for useless information, I tried some of the work at home ideas....a TOTAL waste of my money and time! I was disappointed, discouraged and very skeptical....ready to give up....until NOW! I found a business that I could do from my home, using my computer and the INTERNET. It doesn't tie up my day--my computer does most of the work--allows me spare time to take care of errands, and spend quality time with family and friends. It's fun , easy to do and most important - I AM MAKING MONEY! If it's extra income you need, then this could be the answer for you. If you're over 18 and a US resident, Just Click "REPLY" Send me your Name, City, State, Complete telephone number, and the best time to contact you. I will call you and provide you with all the information that will help you make the decision if this is right for you... it's that simple. If you would like to be removed from our mailing lists, just reply with "Remove" in the Subject line.
