this might seem fickle...

But I can't seem to get the icons back for my spambayes toolbar... I installed a toolbar for putting paypal payment buttons into my emails... it's another outlook addon.. ever since then the icons for Spambayes show up as the paypal icons... it's a minor thing but it's pretty annoying for a visual person like myself... any advice? I'm using the Windows version of the Outlook Addon of spambayes and I am running windows XP Pro with Outlook 2000. SpamBayes version .81 to start with but now I'm running the new .9 version.. and I'm glad it's much faster on my machine than .81 was... but I wouldn't mind having those icons back...

[slightly OT] spammer 'random' words that are addressee-related?
by Denis Haskin Aug. 18, 2004

Aug. 18, 2004

(This isn't *quite* a spambayes question but I think there are knowledgable people here <grin> who can point me in the right direction to get more info. Feel free to declare this too off-topic and send me someplace else.) Like many of you (I'm sure), I'm sysadmin/network ops/hardware tech/customer support/etc for my family's home network. My wife showed me some spam she got this morning that included the usual 'random' words in the subject, but she was wondering if the words maybe weren't so random. The words seemed related to 2 email lists she's on. Now maybe this is just complete coincidence, but is it possible in fact that her email address was harvested somewhere and words were picked up from the harvesting context to be used when constructing spam to her? This seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of return... Also, we're *pretty* sure that both of these email lists are pretty well protected (e.g. they're not archived in any public place as far was we know). Also, they're obscure and small enough that I find it hard to believe it would be worth spammers' while to 'infiltrate' these lists (as they do with yahoo groups). It also occurred to me that perhaps someone else on these lists has a virus which is harvesting this from a local PC and sending it off to a spammer? Anyone have any thoughts? Is there any web site that catalogs known spamming tactics? Thanks, dwh

Click "Delete as Spam" or "Recover from spam" doesn't always work
by Dan Lewis April 30, 2004

April 30, 2004

Hey guys, Spam Bayes is a really wonderful program, one of the best ones I have found. I have come acrossed a major issue though. I went through and targeted some folders to be scanned for any current spam. It tore up those folders, both good and bad messages, so now I have to go back and forth and move things back to where they belong. What's worse, is that I can't return them by clicking "Recover from Spam". I click the button no problem, but the messages just stay in the folder. Normally a restart of Outlook would correct this issue, but even that isn't working anymore. Is there anything I can do to make sure that this works again?

Multiple User Configuration .
by Hal Smith April 30, 2004

April 30, 2004

I finally broke down at Christmas time and bought W2K machines for my teenagers, I also got the M$oft Office 2003 for Educators and Students with a sufficient number of bundled licenses for the machines, and it comes with Outlook 2003. So I have a W2K peer-to-peer network at home. All of us have logins to the main machine (mine) but the teens only have power user logins. That machine is the only one connected to the net, and that is by dial-up. I'm running the VComm System Suite 5.02 package with the bundled Trend AV and Sygate Firewall. Internet connection sharing is disable and will never be enabled if I have my way. I've set their Outlook profiles up on the net connected machine to use a PST file on a share on each of their machines over the home peer-to-peer. They are only supposed to use the main machine to retrieve their mail, then log off the net, and the main machine and then read their mail on their own machines. If they need to send mail, it is composed on their machines, they log off of that machine and then logon to the main machine, connect and then send. We use sub-accounts on SBC-Yahoo, which the main machine grabs via POP3 and sends via SMTP. This all works like a champ. However, what I'd like to know is the best way to configure Spambayes in this environment. A single instance on the main machine, instances on each machine? OL2003 issues to work with? Your considered advice is appreciated. -h o¤º°`°º¤o,,,,o¤º°`°º¤o,,,,o¤º°`°º¤oo¤º°`°º¤o,,,,o¤º°`°º¤o LeadershipOneLiner: Let me know immediately if you have good news, and SOONER if you have bad news.

(no subject)
by Brewer, Gary April 30, 2004

April 30, 2004

I haven't seen any response to my question so I'll try again. Running Spambayes with Outlook 2003/exchange/XP, if a message is highlighted and I click "delete as spam" it deletes it but the view stays the same..i.e. it appears to still be sitting in the folder (and still shows in the folder view) until you click off of it and then it disappears. In 2002 it would disappear immediately. Any ideas why? Thanks, Gary
