spambayes quit working and won't reinstall
by Norm Dingle Feb. 7, 2007

Feb. 7, 2007

I am running Outlook 2003 and had Spambayes running fine. All of a sudden it quit working. I have read the trouble shooting manual and nothing seems to work. I have uninstalled Spambayes and reinstalled several times. The log file says it is registered. When I go to the Advanced options/Comm Addinns dialog Spambay show in the list but unchecked. I check it and then restart Outlook. No Spambayes. The addin dialog then shows it unchecked again. Right now I don’t have any other ideas about what to try. Thanks Norm -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.10.18/90 - Release Date: 9/5/2005

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

Sharing database among multiple IMAP clients?
by Deneb Meketa Aug. 25, 2006

Aug. 25, 2006

Hello! I'm completely new to SpamBayes, and I'm trying to figure out how I want to set it up for myself. Thanks to the list in advance. I'll probably be using an IMAP server and accessing my mail from two main places - work and home. My question is: how can I (and should I, even) share the training data between the two locations? Ideally I'd like to maintain just one database, since this will all be a single set of mail; otherwise I'd have to repeat the same training at home and at work. Several possibilities occur to me, and I'm curious to hear other users' suggestions on these: 1. Manually copy the database file(s) from one location to the other. There are several variations on this. I could just do the initial training in one location and copy to the other, then maintain each database separately thereafter, expecting the follow-on training to take much less work. Or I could copy the DB each time I did some training. Or, if there's some reliable way to merge the two slightly different DBs, I could periodically do that. 2. Maintain the database file(s) on a server somewhere. This is really more what I want, but it's harder to arrange. The best thing, obviously, would be to run SpamBayes on the server, but I'm expecting that, for reliability and simplicity, I'll probably be using a shared commercial server where I can't install SpamBayes. But even if I'm running SpamBayes on the client, I could maintain a single DB in some online location. I could stick it on an FTP or rsync server, and have a script (or maybe even write a SpamBayes extension) that downloads it when I begin using SpamBayes and uploads it when I'm done. I could store the DB at work and map a Windows network drive to point at my work machine through my VPN, and configure SpamBayes at home to use the DB on the network drive - but my VPN isn't completely reliable, so that could be a hassle. Or perhaps there are distributed-DB features built into some of the storage options that SpamBayes can use? 3. Carry a little USB drive around with me, and keep the DB on that. (Does the DB get too big for this to be practical?) 4. Super Crazy Ninja Trick?: enhance the SpamBayes IMAP proxy with the ability to maintain a DB in a folder on the IMAP server, download it before beginning filtering, and upload it whenever it is modified. If this seems productive, and the feature doesn't yet exist, I'd be happy to add it if I can find the time. Surely others have run into the same DB-replication question. Is there any conventional wisdom on this yet? I didn't find anything obviously related in the wiki, the FAQ, or the mail archives. I realize the question probably does come down to a simple issue of "how do I share a file between multiple sites?", which isn't particular to SpamBayes, but maybe SpamBayes users are a good crowd to ask such a question of. Any help is much appreciated! Best, Deneb Meketa, San Francisco.

Re: [Spambayes] users should share database
by Jesse Pelton Aug. 25, 2006

Aug. 25, 2006

As far as I know, SpamBayes does no contention management (locking) on its databases. As a result, there's no robust way to share a database among multiple processes. So I think that even if you solve the current problem, you won't be able to get this approach to work. If you need to filter mail for multiple users with a single database, you'll probably need to set up server-side filtering, so only one process uses the database. Personally, I think the individualized nature of the database is one of SpamBayes' greatest assets. One man's ham is another's spam. Even if you get it working, using a single database to filter for multiple users seems likely to provide a lower quality of filtering (from your users' point of view) than individual databases would. > -----Original Message----- > From: spambayes-bounces(a)python.org > [mailto:spambayes-bounces@python.org] On Behalf Of Mag.

SPAMfighter Disaster
by Graeme/Deb July 31, 2006

July 31, 2006

I installed SPAMfighter a few days ago. The system did not block or blacklist emails from entering my inbox (OE). Worse, I got a flood of spam. It seems your system is a target for spammers, like a light is to moths! Or is this some sort of scam?!! I would like someone's response. Graeme Ballantyne graemedeb(a)paradise.net.nz

Spam Clues: [Bulk] Fantastic ...
by Rabbi Eric A. Silver July 28, 2006

July 28, 2006

This message was classified as "junk suspects." It is identical to dozens of message that have come over the past several months, all of which I have moved from junk suspects to the junk folder. It appears that the training feature isn't working, despite the fact that it's checked. Any ideas. In the past hour, Spambayes has classified 12 messages as junk, 13 as junk suspects, and passed 14 through to my inbox with scores of 0, despite their obvious (to the eye,) appearance as spam. Moving such messages to the junk folder doesn't seem to have any bearing on training because future identical messages go right to the inbox. Any suggestions? Thanks, Eric A.
