Intermittent SpamBayes crashes
by Joel M. Halpern Nov. 24, 2005

Nov. 24, 2005

I have been getting intermittent crashes of SpamBayes. I have attached the Server log that shows one such problem. Note that when I have such crashes, and then go to turn off my computer, I get "interesting" error messages about problems in Windows. It is quite possible the problem is elsewhere in my system, but extensive diagnostics do not show anything. The only other evidence I have is that the crashes were more frequent last week when I had intermittent connectivity. (I was using wireless at a meeting, and it was broken quite often.) The SpamBayes configuration information indicates that I am running SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Version 1.0.4 (March 2005). Is there any way to tell if this is a SpamBayes bug or a problem on my machine? Thank you, Joel M. Halpern PS: I find SpamBayes a very effective tool, and appreciate the work that goes into developing and supporting it.

second attempt
by shaydeb＠peoplepc.com Nov. 24, 2005

Nov. 24, 2005

I sent the email below last week, but still haven't heard anything from anyone - is there anyone out there who can help me???? Hi, I have had some rather strange things happening to my Outlook Express since starting spambayes and I was hoping someone could help me with it. I was able to download and start spambayes a few weeks ago. The first few days were great - I was training ham and spam and everything was going well. About the fifth day, I started receiving an error message when I opened Outlook Express stating that it was unable to open due to a pop3 error. I would close Outlook and try again and the message went away. I don't have the exact wording because I only received the message twice. Then I started receiving the following message "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems or a long period of inactivity. Socket error: 10053, error number 0 x800 CCC0f". This was so weird because you could still browse the web, so clearly the connection had not terminated. Through trial and error we learned that if you opened webmail first, then Outlook, we were able to get to our email. That worked for awhile, but then something else happened. Now when we open webmail first, then Outlook, we wait forever while it goes through "receiving messages". Then a message comes up that says "A time out occurred while communicating with the server account peoplepc online server. Localhost protocol pop3, port:110 secure SSL: no error number 0x800ccc19". Sometimes if we toggle back and forth between webmail and Outlook we can finally get Outlook open, then open spambayes and start training. Needless to say, this has become very tedious and tiresome. Sometimes it take s several tries just to get Outlook open. I'm about ready to remove spambayes and start over with some other anti-spam program, but I wanted to know if there is anything I can do. Please help. Debbie Concidine

Re: [Spambayes] Love Spambayes, but I wonder if
by Jesse Pelton Nov. 24, 2005

Nov. 24, 2005

See http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/faq.html#can-i-share-move-my-training-d ata-from-one-computer-to-another for how to do this. But there's a price for that answer: I'm going to give you my opinion as well. I wouldn't bother copying the training data. SpamBayes learns very quickly, and the character of the spam I receive changes over time, so I rather than hanging on to training data, I delete it and retrain from scratch periodically. Within a day or two I find I'm getting better results. ________________________________ From: spambayes-bounces(a)python.org [mailto:spambayes-bounces@python.org] On Behalf Of Jorge Aulestia Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 1:35 PM To: spambayes(a)python.org Subject: [Spambayes] Love Spambayes, but I wonder if I wonder if I can export the training that I've accumulated on one machine, into another (my home pc) My home pc crashed and I had to reinstall everything.

bug?
by Sharon Frischling Nov. 24, 2005

Nov. 24, 2005

Hello! I love SpamBayes! It worked great on my old computer running Windows XP. However, I installed it on our new machine that is running Windows VP Media Center Edition and it hasn't been quite right since. It works for a while and then stops. If I shut down the computer it will work for a while (a couple of hours?). If I reinstall the program sometimes it works longer (a day or two?). After that It just puts everything into Junk Suspects and the "Delete As Spam" and "Recover From Spam" buttons do not work. I transferred over my training databases so there is plenty of info available to score the incoming messages. Can you help? Sharon

Request, extending the functionality for other kinds of classifications?
by fredrik.kant＠sungard.com Nov. 24, 2005

Nov. 24, 2005

Hi! First I need to say that I have used SpamBays for almost 2 years and it worked real fine. In a test in Sweden's larges computer magazines, Data Magazinet, SpamBay was ranked number one compared to 11 other SpamBays filter, most of them you had to pay for. Not just because it is free but because it is so accurate. The only negative thing was perhaps the performance. My questions is: I wonder how hard it would be to be able to extend SpamBays so it can be used for other kind of classifications? My idea is that why not be able to classify mails as: important, medium,low ,private or so and use the same technology to train to filter for doing different classifications. Then people which receives a lot of mail could get a first classification and process the most important mails first. I assume one would like to have a similar folder as the "Junc Suspect" folder (e.g. "not classified") or one common "suspect" folder. Having friends in Management positions receiving on average 50-60 mails per day that must be processed (but normally there is not enough time) the above described functionality would probably help them in there mail processing so it would be a nice thing to have.
