Viruses in attachments
by George Osborne Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

I seem to be having a problem with SpamBayes that I haven't found noted elsewhere. While scanning through email, it opens items with attachments, activating the virus and prompting my antivirus to alert me to the virus -- but not before an email has gone outbound. So I'm sending out these viral emails & getting messages back from servers complaining about it. I can't find anything in SpamBayes' config pages, or Help. Is there a way to stop it from opening emails with attachments? --------------------------------- Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about. Just $16.99/mo. or less

I just installed Spaybayes. This is what is in my outlook_addin_register.exe.log file: Traceback (most recent call last): File "addin.py", line 73, in ?

Searched how? If you were using the Windows search, did you ensure that it was searching for all files, and including all locations (including hidden ones and system files)? I believe that by default this is not the case. The simplest way of finding these files is to open an Explorer window (Windows-E), show the address/location bar if it isn't already (View menu), and type the path into the address/ location bar. That will open up the directory even if it is hidden. > I RECENTLY GOT A FREE DOWNLOAD OF Mcafee Security from Comcast- > could this > have anything to do with the problem?

Message filtering problem
by Peter Bonjernoor Jan. 2, 2006

Jan. 2, 2006

Hello, first of all my compliments on your overall very reliable spam filter. The only problem I rather regularly encounter is that not all messages are moved correctly. As you can see in the enclosed logfile, the first message 'Re: bitchy villein' is quite correctly classified as spam, but not moved to the Junk EMail folder. It's not uncommon that out of 150 emails half of that remain in my inbox, even though they are spam. I hope you can fix this! Kind regards and happy holidays, Peter Bonjernoor Zaph Software & Webdesign Wolvenstraat 3 3512 CG Utrecht Tel: +31 (0)6-45598216 EMail: info(a)zaph.nl www.zaph.nl

I have installed spaybayes-1.04.exe. There is nothing in spambayes1.log. This is what is in outlook_addin.register.exe,log: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "addin.py", line 72, in ? IOError: [Errno 13] rmission denied: 'C:\\DOCUME~1\\Harry\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\spambayes1.log'" Spaybayes is not listed as an addin in Outlook so I can't click on it to enable it. The only things listed are Google Desktop, Outlook backup adding and pdf converter. I can't add Spaybayes as an addin because I don't know the name of the exe. file to be inserted in the file name in Addins in Outlook. Can you help?

Question
by Nancy Jan. 2, 2006

Jan. 2, 2006

I've been using your program for a long time and love it. I'm using version 1.0.4. A couple of days ago, Outlook automatically made a new set of personal folders, probably because my inbox was too full. Spambayes does not recognize these new folders and will revent back to the old ones. I made new junk email and junk suspect folders in the new personal folders, but I still get this error: It doesn't matter if I reconfigure or not (I did both), the problem still exists and Spambayes will not filter. I did an uninstall and then restalled your program and that didn't do anything positive. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
