1.1a1 inordinately high memory usage
by Steve Holden Nov. 11, 2006

Nov. 11, 2006

Is this just me, or do recent SpamBayes releases use a *lot* of memory? I mean over quarter of a *gigabyte*? I downloaded what was then the current alpha because I started to suffer from the dreaded "DBRunRecoveryError". I downloaded a binary installer for 1.1a3 and that suffered the same problem after a couple of mails got processed (I threw away the previous training database and gritted my teeth for a retrain). So I somehow ended up with a source install that identifies itself as "spambayes-1.1a1". I'm running the local service under Windows XP and as I write the pythonservice.exe associated with Spambayes is idling at around 167 MB (though the Application Data directory occupies less than 7 MB). I just heard my disk thrashing and presumed this was Spambayes processing a regular mail collection. Sure enough I saw the process go up to 319 MB, and it's now hovering at 200 MB again. I am assuming this is something to do with recent additions to OCR the recent flood of stock offer spam. I like the way the spam has disappeared, but I'm not sure I can stand this price. I only" have 1 GB of physical memory. Up until my Spambayes re-install this was enough! You may ask why I'm not running 1.1a3. Good question. When I install that using the binary installer and try to set my options for mail server and port number I see the following: 500 Server error Traceback (most recent call last): File "spambayes\Dibbler.pyc", line 476, in found_terminator File "spambayes\UserInterface.pyc", line 884, in onChangeopts File "spambayes\ProxyUI.pyc", line 782, in reReadOptions File "sb_server.pyc", line 1007, in _recreateState File "sb_server.pyc", line 1022, in prepare File "sb_server.pyc", line 822, in prepare File "sb_server.pyc", line 889, in createWorkers File "spambayes\Stats.pyc", line 60, in __init__ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_statistics_start_date' So that's a bit of a non-starter for me. I'd appreciate Cc'd replies about this if it's not too much trouble. I thought the list would have been full of this but I didn't see anything in the archive. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://holdenweb.blogspot.com Recent Ramblings http://del.icio.us/steve.holden

Spambayes problem
by Jesús Arribas Nov. 8, 2006

Nov. 8, 2006

Spambayes doesn't work with Outlook 2003 rules. My rules are "IF the email is for the account A move it to the folder B" because I have to manage several email accounts. If I disable my Outlook 2003 rules the Spambayes works perfectly and all my span is removed and moved to my Junk Email folder. If I enable my Outlook 2003 rules the emails are not moved to my Junk Email folder. If I use the utility Filtering Messages ---> Start Now, all my spam messages not moved are correctly moved to my Junk Email folder. All of this happens regardless I configure the Background filtering, I have tried all the positions of the timers and the problem goes on. So, What can I do? Thank you in advance.

good karma or not?
by Peter Bishop Nov. 7, 2006

Nov. 7, 2006

I would like to get some good karma. I am fairly new to SpamBayes, but as CTO of my company, I had designed an approach to spam, and asked my field support manager to start implementing it, when he told me he was already using SpamBayes with great success. Your approach was very similar to the approach I had designed, and so I investigated your software over the course of a couple of days, and I love it! I am now recommending SpamBayes as our corporate answer to spam, and providing some guidance within the company to employees who want to use it. I have also started tentatively answering some of the questions on this list, but I notice that the emails go directly to the person asking the question. Does anyone know how many answers each question gets, and how good they all are? Should I keep doing this, or are others giving much better advice? Peter Bishop Aeroprise, Inc.

Use of spambyes with any other mail package than outlook express
by Colin J. Williams Nov. 7, 2006

Nov. 7, 2006

This is to enquire whether anyone has successfully used the new version, other than with Outlook Express. I had a stab at it, but failed. If anyone has succeeded, I will try again. Colin W.

OE problem
by Roland Nov. 7, 2006

Nov. 7, 2006

I can't get much satisfaction out of SpamBayes. Maybe I am doing it all wrong. Is SpamBayes only for MS Outlook and not for Outlook Express (OE). Every advice I could find so far was always for Outlook. I find it quite cumbersome to go into the message properties --> details --> message source and then copy and paste the message into "Train on a message, mbox file or dbx file" and but I'm still getting all the usual annoying nonsense I thought I would get rid off after starting to use SpamBayes. Please help if you can! Roland

Spambayes in Outlook 2003 using IMAP
by Lai, Felix Nov. 7, 2006

Nov. 7, 2006

Hi there, I finally got Spambayes Outlook plug-in to work with Outlook 2003 using IMAP email mode, however the "Spam" column I've created in Inbox is always empty even though filtering works properly, once the email ends up in Junk or Junk Suspect, the score shows up, but not when it's still in Inbox. How come and is there a cure? :) Felix

Trouble with Spambayes
by Jeff Dombach Nov. 6, 2006

Nov. 6, 2006

Hello all, I have been using Spambayes for awhile but it quit working. I have read the troubleshooting guide. I uninstalled and reinstalled the outlook add-in several times. I have no toolbar buttons. It does not appear that any email is being moved to the junk folder. Help, I can't stand filtering 50-60 pieces of spam manually.
