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

Re: [Spambayes] how to remove spam from subject forincorrectly makedmail

[Tony Meyer] >>I don't believe you can edit messages with Outlook Express [User Waldo] > Thanks, I was able to fix this via a plugin for Thunderbird > that allows you to edit headers. I presume that means that you're using Thunderbird, then. Do you know that the subject tags aren't required to use SpamBayes with Thunderbird? You ought to be able to filter on the X-Spambayes-Classification header, which avoids munging up the subject header. (Sad old Outlook Express can't filter on arbitrary headers, so needs the subject/to munging). I guess you might want the munging for some other reason. > Also I've switched to the imap client, but had to use an older > version due to not beeing able to connect to the mail server > with the newer version. What's the older version and what's the newer one? 1.1a1 ought to be much better than 1.0.x, but is in alpha. 1.0.4 should definitely be better than any earlier 1.0.x's. > the problem is that it occasionaly crashes and i have to > restart the filter. I don't suppose you have any more information than that?

Re: [Spambayes] Query: Reviewing trained messages

Is there any viewer for the "hammie.db" > file? Are you using Outlook Express & sb_server? (Your message looks like that is the case - if not, please let us know as what is below may be wrong). Messages stay in the SpamBayes cache for a limited amount of time (7 days, by default). After that amount of time, you basically can't untrain any of those messages. If you find that you make a mistake using the review page, then you can use the "Find Message" box on the main page of the web interface to find the message (as long as it's within the 7 days) and correct the training. Does this answer your question? =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at 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.

Why > doesn't it go into my "Possible Junk" folder? If you look at the raw message (right-click on the message, choose Properties, then click the Details tab) is there a X-Spambayes-Classification header? If so, what is the value? (it should be "ham", "spam", or "unsure"). If not, is there a X-Spambayes-Exception header? If so, what is the value? Did you turn on the 'notate to' or 'notate subject' option? If so, are messages being notated? =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at 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.

Somewhere in the settings in your mail account there will be the name of the server you are connecting to (e.g. "mail.example.com". For example, with Outlook Express, this is done via Tools->Accounts. > My provider in Canada operates on POP2. Is this compatible > with SpamBayes POP3 requirement? Are you positive that you're using POP2? I didn't think there was anyone left using that. Looking at the specification, I suspect that it may work - the proxy just passes through most information, so the different commands should still work. Since "RETR" is still the command for retrieving mail, SpamBayes may still be able to intercept it correctly. I'm certainly not positive that it will work, though. Surely your mail provider could manage POP3? =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at 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.

Spam Byaes and Outlook Express
by Scott Goverman May 31, 2005

May 31, 2005

I use both Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6. I recently installed Spam Bayes and ticked both boxes on the installation (so I could use it with both programs). Spam Bayes appears to be working with Outlook so far. But with Outlook Express I do not think so. I followed the instructions on configuring it, and set up my message rules the way it says to. When I tried a test by e-mailing myself, the message went into my normal inbox, not into the "possible junk" folder I created. Can you provide any guidance on how to get it to work with OE? Thanks, Scott Goverman goverman(a)san.rr.com
