Re: [Spambayes] message rules
by Don Ireland Sept. 28, 2006

1) Sorry--I didn't realize that I sent that directly to your address. 2) after re-reading your post, I'm thinking that maybe the message didn't "miss the attention of SB". More likely SB DID scan it but didn't recognize it as spam. a - Have SB scan folder B and train it as Ham. b - When these spam messages get through, tell SB that it is spam. Pretty soon you won't see those messages. Don Ireland ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Russell To: 'Don Ireland' Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 9:30 AM Subject: RE: [Spambayes] message rules Hi Don, Thanks for the email. My rule is pretty simple, it simply states that when mail is received from account b, move it to folder b. I receive emails for two trading names and need to keep them separate. Can I set up Spambayes to scan the additional folder or will a message rule take effect after a delay if configured correctly thereby allowing spambayes to work its magic before the message rule takes effect? Many thanks Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Don Ireland [mailto:spambayes@donireland.com] Sent: 28 September 2006 14:11 To: Andrew Russell Subject: Re: [Spambayes] message rules The solution is to change the rule so that spam meesages don't meet the requirements. In other words, the rule is too generalized. What is the rule? Don Ireland ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Russell To: spambayes(a)python.org Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 3:28 AM Subject: [Spambayes] message rules Hello all, I have recently installed Spambayes on my machine. I am running windows 2000 professional and using outlook 2000 as my email client. I am having difficulty with just one aspect of my spambayes setup, that being where I have filtering for message rules. It appears that any message that meets the requirements of my message rule avoids the attention on spambayes. This seems to me like too simple a problem for there not to be a solution. Can anyone let me know what it might be. Many thanks Andy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ SpamBayes(a)python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html

Spambayes stops filtering
by Philip Lee Sept. 26, 2006

Sept. 26, 2006

Hi there, We have few users installing Spambayes and using it for weeks and it is great. Then it stops filtering. I tried to uninstall it and install it back. Did not work. When I uninstall it in add/remove program, it did not completely uninstall. The spambayes icons still appear in Outlook.

DoesFolderHaveOutlookField() error
by Manzoni Fabio Sept. 26, 2006

Sept. 26, 2006

Hi, I'm running spambayes 1.0.4 on Outlook2k on Windows2k. It ran ok for months, the suddenly stop ped filtering new messages. Looking into the log, i saw there was a problema creating the 'Spam' field in the 'incoming mail' folder, saying the field was created but looked like it didn't exist, with a probable error with DoesFolderHaveOutlookField(). I tried to install/reinstall, manually delete or add the Spam field in the folder, but without success. At the end, noticing I had other user fields (not related to Spambayes) I tried deleting them, quitting and restarting outlook, and... voilà! everything is ok now. Don't know if my solution works for all the people having a similar problem, but maybe it can be useful for the developers...

Sept. 25, 2006

Hello, When I click the 'Delete as Spam' button, the view in Outlook doesn't refresh, until I click onto a different folder or email message. So it appears that nothing happens to the message, when in actuality it has actually been moved to my junk mail folder. Can you please help? Thanks, ________________________________ Paul R.

Can I manually add a specific filter for Ham / Spam
by Gordon Hutchison Sept. 24, 2006

Sept. 24, 2006

Hi, I want to manually add a filter, so that any email with , say, "nodrog" in subject or body is always considered as Ham. Can I do this? Would it be sufficient to just send myself some (How many?) emails with this word and make sure they are classified as Ham? How could I be sure that absolutely every email with this word would be considered as Ham? Why would I want to do this? If I can tell my friends / colleagues to use this email password, then I can be sure that all emails with it (and perhaps the odd one or two of spam) would be considered as ham, and I don't have to troll the spam folder so carefully every single day. (I get about 70 spam and perhaps 5 or 8 Ham emails every day. With such a lopsided incremental learning I worry about incorrectly classifying Ham as spam (and this has happened a few times).

An interesting spam-related website
by skip＠pobox.com Sept. 21, 2006

Sept. 21, 2006

This may be of more interest to just the SpamBayes developers than to its users, but I think enough folks might find this site worth a few minutes of time: http://www.spamnation.info/ A colleague at work referred me to it today. It seems to have some interesting perspective on spammers and their techniques. Skip
