Configuring
by Peter James Aug. 29, 2006

Aug. 29, 2006

I have installed Spambayes 1.04 (proxy version) from the .exe download. The icon sits on the task bar and start menu, but I cannot get onto the configuration page.. The program is trying to connect to the localhost but always fails. I have tried entering the address directly into the address bar of IE and also Mozilla, but no success. I have reinstalled several times. I have also tried changing the incoming mail setting in OE to localhost first, but this has made no difference. Nor has having OE loaded or not made any diference. I feel that there is a problem with my installation, even though there were no problems in the process. I am runnung XP Pro SP2 with latest updates. I have trawled through all the FAQs and troubleshooting pages but could find nothing to help with getting onto the configuration interface. This program had a great write up in PC User and I am keen to get it going Many thanks, Peter James

When I'm receiving emails that the program had not been trained for, they are being immediately moved/deleted. They are not in Junk Suspects, Junk Emails, or Deleted. Where are they being routed?

Make sure you have DEP turned off. In Dell systems it's in the BIOS, but YMMV.

Several Outlook clients using same Spam Database
by Rowan Bradley Aug. 26, 2006

Aug. 26, 2006

I've configured two PCs (a notebook and a desktop) with Outlook and SpamBayes to use the same database folder, which is on the desktop PC which is always present and switched on. - Should this configuration work properly? - Can I open Outlook on either PC, and use the same database? - Can I do Delete As Spam or Recover From Spam with incremental training, and update the database from either PC? - Can I run both copies of Outlook at the same time? What happens when both copies try to read from or write to the database at the same time? Are there file or record locking problems? Thanks - Rowan

default db
by Dhaval Patel Aug. 25, 2006

Aug. 25, 2006

I know that the whole point of spambayes is so that everybody can train their db based on what they think is ham or spam. This is great. But hear me out. While I was trying to figure out the best way to setup training for all of my users I started thinking about this. I ended up creating a shared db for all of my users. I will update that db based on my spam (since I get the most) and if they have any complaints, I will train the db with their inbox or spam folder when needed. This is working out quite well, we are getting most of our spam in our spam folder. But I got to thinking about spam filtering in gmail. They have a fairly good spam filtering system (I dont know if they use spambayes or not). They already have a system that is generic. Wouldn't it be possible to create a generic db that a normal person can use to block most of his spam? We have to agree that no spam filter will be 100% accurate. Because of that, I think a generic db would be a good idea. Does anybody on this list think that this is a good idea? Should we have a db somewhere that people can download and use and we can update it once in a while based on new spam thats being sent around? Thanks, Dhaval
