You need to be running from source, and the sb_filter script is probably a good place to start.

It's storing the classified copy of the message, but that's only 3Kb, so it shouldn't take very long. Do you ever have any other problems connecting to the IMAP server? Is your mail client open or closed while you do this? If open, try running imapfilter with it closed and see if that makes any difference. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes(a)python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this.

SpamBayes Outlook problem
by Steve Gledhill March 31, 2005

March 31, 2005

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002 (10.2627.6753) SP3. I have used SpamBayes for well over a year and it has worked very well. Just recently it suddenly stopped working. I went to the usual controls which did nothing. So far I have tried to delete and reinstall SpamBayes but that has not helped - and in sheer desperation deleted and reinstalled Microsoft Office. That didn't help either. So I still have the SpamBayes sitting in the Outlook window doing nothing and the spam mounts up. Can someone please give some advice? Many thanks Steve

I have Spambayes installed and it filters fine when I click on "Filter messages..." However, it won't filter on it's own. Gerald.

RE: [Spambayes] SpamBayes Log (944 MB) consuming full space in my C:drive!

With the binary the log file is always stored in the Windows temp directory. The only way to change where it is is to change the temp directory location.
