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?

How do I remove the Outlook Add-In from Outlook?
by louise July 31, 2005

July 31, 2005

Win XP Pro and Outlook 2002. While troubleshooting Outlook with a Microsoft Tech (for a different problem), I wanted to uninstall Spambayes to be sure it wasn't the cause of the problem - it wasn't :-) I uninstalled Spambayes via add/remove programs. However, it kept coming up on the Outlook toolbar. I am under an impression I'd have to uninstall the Outlook add-in but when I looked at the add-ins, I couldn't figure out which one might be related to Spambayes. Thanks. Louise

Re: [Spambayes] SpamBayes Not Running...

> I have the icon in my Systems Tray, but it tells me that > "SpamBayes is not running" and I cannot get it to "run" by > clicking on it or opening it. In that case, we'll need to see your log files to know what is going wrong. These are in your temp directory, probably 'C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp' and called SpambayesServer1.log, SpambayesServer2.log, and so forth. > I did not know about the specific problems SpamBayes has with > Outlook Express until after I downloaded it [...] thus, I am > considering deleting it and doing a clean download. What do > you suggest? Problems? What problems? Outlook Express is an extremely limited mail client (probably *the* most limited mail client in use; even many webmail systems have more functionality) and so you have to do more work to get SpamBayes running, but there aren't any problems, AFAIK. Certainly it seems unlikely that reinstalling with help anything. (The logs will have information about what is wrong, and then we can explain how to fix it). =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.

Re: [Spambayes] missing feature
by Coe, Bob July 29, 2005

July 29, 2005

I hoe that default doesn't do more harm than good. Outlook 2002 doesn't have the "Empty Junk E-mail" button, but it does have a "Delete Junk E-mail" button. That button deletes the entire folder, not just its contents. One of the most common errors by users of the Spambayes Outlook plugin is to inadvertently delete their spam folders. If a user knows how the Junk E-mail folder works in Outlook 2003, he may well assume that the "Delete Junk E-mail" button in Outlook 2002 works the same way.

Re: [Spambayes] Fw: spam,Does not delete the spam to a file.

> The problem I am having is it will detect the spam but does > not send it to the spam folder. It stays in my inbox. SpamBayes (apart from the Outlook plug-in) is not a filter, just a classifier, so this is all that it is meant to do. The idea is that it is extremely simple to create rules in your mail client do filter this mail once it has been classified, and you can tell your client to do whatever you like with the mail (move it, delete is, colour it, ...). FAQ 4.21 contains an example of setting up rules to move messages in Outlook Express. <http://spambayes.org/faq.html#how-do-i-set-up-spambayes-and-outlook-express > =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.
