Outlook Problems

Hi, I am having issues whilst using SpamBayes Add-In with Outlook 2003. SpamBayes stopped responding to Spam emails entirely, and the buttons on the toolbar did nothing. To remedy this I uninstalled SpamBayes and launched Outlook, the Toolbar however remained. So, I deleted that from the Toolbar menu, checked the Add-Ins menu and SpamBayes was removed. I reinstalled the plugin, now the plugin has started working but the Toolbar has not reappeared. This basically means that I cannot "Delete as Spam" and "Recover from Spam". I have tried creating a new Toolbar, but I cannot find a location where the commands can be added from. Is there any way of reinstalling the Toolbar? Thanks, Pete

Out of Office AutoReply: [Spam?] Mail Delivery (failure asaracevic@sfchronicle.com)

On articles about various companies it would be helpful if the stock price could be included in quotes or similar bracketing right after their name. Several other reading sources do this. It makes it easier to reference the stock in your mind and to category it for possible investments. Thank you. Ron Shuck Sonoma, CA.

Hello, I downloaded SpamBayes, but the configuration for me is far to difficult. I am from the Nederlands so i hardly can read the gide. It is to technical and my experians with computer is not so big. Plaes make a translation in dutch. Urlier i downloaded Spamfighter. It was more easy to work with because ist is full automatic.

outlook add-in stopped functionning. Imossible de re-install it
by Yiannis MAVRIKIOS Nov. 11, 2006

Nov. 11, 2006

Hello, I have trouble with spambayes add-in to outlook. Suddenly it stopped working (version 1.03). Clicking on the "recover from spam" delete as spam" etc buttons had no effect any more. The automatic filtering to the JUNK and JUNK SUSPECTED folders stopped working as well. I tried to uninstall (using the windows procedure) and re-install it version 1.04), but with no success. I deleted the spambayes outlook buttons (right click on them and then delete). Then tried to uninstall and re-install again (restarting windows in between each time) with no result. On the windows controm panel spambayes seems normally installed. On the Tools/Options/Others/AdvancedOptions spambayes apears (without being checked) but I cannot either check-it or install it ... In outlook, there are no spambayes menus. Anybody can help or I need to rreinstall outlook all together ...!? Thanks in advance Yiannis

Same message keeps getting through my filter
by David Abrahams Nov. 11, 2006

Nov. 11, 2006

Today I updated my spambayes from CVS and started training it afresh. I've been getting hundreds of copies of the enclosed message, and despite having put several in my spam training folder, they keep getting classified as ham or unsure. Is this a bug, or my misconception, or something I'm doing wrong? If a bug, can I do anything to help you fix it? Thanks -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

In that case, spambayes does not delete any spam. It only moves spam to a designated spam folder. So check this spam folder.

server side spambayes
by Amedee Van Gasse Nov. 11, 2006

Nov. 11, 2006

I am using spambayes for almost a year now, and I'm very happy with it. Most spam gets caught (>95%), and no false positives after initial training. Currently I am using spambayes as a procmail filter, in ~/.procmailrc. For training, I have a few imap folders: ham, unsure, spam, confirmed-ham, confirmed spam. On average, 1 or 2 messages per day arrive in one of the first 3 folders. I move them to one of the confirmed folders. (This setup is described somewhere on the wiki) A nightly cron job then trains on the confirmed folders. This works great, but it's client-side filtering so it only works for me. Recently my spouse showed interest in spambayes because the spam filtering that our isp does is - honestly - crap. Too many false positives and too many getting trough. I'm also hosting a few (low traffic) mailing lists on my server, for friends and for a few associations I'm in. Because of this, I am interested in using spambayes at the server level. I have found this page: http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/server_side.html with "postfix notes from Jonathan St-Andre" I still have some questions. If I understand it correctly, the only thing this setup does, is tagging emails with a spam score, just like I am already doing in procmail. Is that a correct interpretation? So it is still up to me to classify the emails in the correct ham/spam folders using procmail? Is it possible to block emails at the server level when they have a spam score above a certain treshold? Like for example, in my current setup (client side), everything with a spam score of .99 gets moved to /dev/null by procmail. On the postfix server level, I would like to fail emails with a spam score of .99 with an SMTP error, like for example error 554: Transaction failed. Is that possible, and if yes, how can I do that? I might have some other questions as I go along, but let's start with these. -- Amedee Van Gasse amedee(a)amedee.be

Your product was recommended on a Talk back program with Newstalk ZB based out of Auckland New Zealand. I was getting a lot of spam (penny stocks, adult products, prescriptions, situation vacant our of Greece etc. I have loaded the product but have a problem when I first turn on the computor and access MS Outlook for emails with the error message as per attached. It seems to get through when started in safe mode which is the option but it takes a lot longer to load. I have not sent Microsoft an error report. Can you help?
