This is absolutely, positively NOT the case. At most organizations, the *organization* owns the computer, and all data on it. At least in the US, Canada and across most of Europe. Legal liability for the organization's computer (and the licenses for software that goes on it) rests with the organization. This is why savvy organizations prohibit users from installing any software: your average user is not empowered (according to the organization's rules) to accept the license agreement on behalf of the organization. This holds true for open source software licenses as well. So, the organization owns the computer, and the *organization* decides what software the user can use. For example, I have the authority to negotiate contracts on behalf of my employer, but 95% of the people who work here do not. They do not have the training nor expertise to enter into a contractual arrangement on behalf of the company. A commercial software license IS a contract, so 95% of people here are not authorized to install software - regardless of the technical issues. The fact that Spambayes is open source changes this not one bit, as the user is generally not empowered to accept the PSF License (in LICENSE.TXT) on behalf of the organization. > I certainly should not need to go to my system manager and wait > weeks for the > extremely unlikely event of the system manager testing the > software and > deciding to support it and install it for me. Yes, you *should* have to wait. Total anarchy - unlicensed commercial software, spyware, viruses, worms, and trashed systems - are the result when the general user population is allowed to install their own software. Regards, Ryan

Auto delete of Spam after X number of days or mark some how
by Scott Whalen Feb. 28, 2005

Feb. 28, 2005

Hello, I have been using Qurb Spam filter, but my computer person recommended this product, so I am trying it. One thing that has changed between the 2 products that I liked with Qurb is, once I reviewed the Spam folder, I did not have to delete it or show it as read to have it identify to me which spam email I ended up reviewing the last time. This then allowed me to keep the old ones for awhile, because sometimes I miss one I want to remove from Spam, so I can come back later to check the old ones. what I end up having to do with this is delete the ones I just looked at because I can not remember where I left off the last time and the number just grows of unread emails in the Spam folder. Is there a way to do this that I can not find? Hopefully I have explained this clearly enough, but if I have not please let me know. ___________________________________________ The finest compliment I can ever receive is a referral from my friends or clients...

SpamBayes
by ac287＠city.ac.uk Feb. 28, 2005

Feb. 28, 2005

Hi Im currently doing a study, as part of my degree, to investigate whether diversity can be applied to spam filters to improve their effectiveness. I just had a few questions regarding SpamBayes. Is it possible to pipe/redirect messages through spambayes one at a time using the DOS command line to classify messages? If so what would the command look like for a message named test.txt (for example). Also once the message has been piped through how can I then check whether it has been classified as spam/ham or unsure? You can mail me on ac287(a)city.ac.uk Many thanks Atif

Question about the security of this mailing list
by Katz, Amir Feb. 27, 2005

Feb. 27, 2005

As we all know, spammers uses various techniques to harvest e-mail addresses, especially from Usenet newsgroups and public forums. Since this is a semi-private mailing list, I hope that spammers are not subscribe to this list and collect the email addresses of anyone that posts. The question is - is this mailing list archived anywhere that can be broken into? Thanks, Amir

RE: [Spambayes] Outlook Express
by Katz, Amir Feb. 27, 2005

Feb. 27, 2005

You need to configure SB to annotate the mails (usually the "To:" field), so all spams will have "spam" or "unsure" are added to the list of addressees. Next you add a rule in Outlook Express to operate on all messages that have "spam" in the "To:". However, I strongly suggest that you don't delete the suspected spam, but rather move them to a dedicated folder. Every so often you look at the messages there and make sure that all are really spam. Then delete them. Even SB is not fool-proof and some legitimate messages can be identified as spam. Amir _____ From: pnoterman(a)comcast.net [mailto:pnoterman@comcast.net] Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 23:16 To: spambayes(a)python.org Subject: [Spambayes] Outlook Express I have spambayes up and running well. I don't know how to connect it to Outlook Express so that what spambayes identifies as spam is automatically deleted. Please help!
