If you move a message out of the "Junk E-mail" folder, will it have a training effect on Spambayes, even if Outlook, not Spambayes, put it there? Bob

Incredimail

Hi, I use Incredimail as my default e-mail handler. I have just installed Spambayes but do not know how to set it up. Does Spambayes work with Incredimail, and if so could you give me some basic directions how? Regards Eric

I am running the above with Entourage. This is very similar to Outlook & indeed accepted all the data when transferred. Any info on Spambayes & Entourage? Will it work? -- Andrew Martin A.R.M.Associates Ltd.

The folder named "Junk E-mail" is a special folder controlled by Outlook, and Outlook will not allow it to be deleted. By default, SpamBayes moves spam to the same folder as the built-in Outlook spam filter so that all of your spam goes to one place, but SpamBayes does not manage the folder itself or control whether or not it can be deleted. If what you want to do is delete all of your spam, you can just right-click on the Junk E-mail folder and select the Empty "Junk E-mail" Folder option from the menu. -- Kenny Pitt

I use Incredimail - Outlook add-on. For some reason, they discontinued support for it and don't offer the download anymore but it works fine with Spambayes.

I'm not quite sure why the one I found wanted FreePOPs installed; it seems unnecessary. Uniserve's tutorial is short and to the point. Anyway, I hope ebritt(a)westnet.com.au will give it a try and let us all know how it goes. It sure would be nice to be able to point Incredimail users to a FAQ.

How to create a valid RPM?
by Edgar Matzinger Sept. 12, 2006

Sept. 12, 2006

ls, when I download python-spambayes-1.0rc2-2.src.rpm, install it and run rpmbuild -ba ../SPECS/python-spambayes.spec, I get a lot of error messages. It complains about a lot of installed but unpackaged files. How can I create a valid RPM? Thanks, cu l8r, Edgar. -- \|||/ (o o) Just curious... ----ooO-(_)-Ooo-------------------------------------------------------

I seem to have stumbled upon a (persistent) spamcount > nspam bug
by Edgar Matzinger Sept. 11, 2006

Sept. 11, 2006

ls, after getting these messages: -------------------------------8<--------------------- fetchmail: reading message <mailserver>:19 of 19 (4326 octets) ....Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/sb_filter.py", line 257, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/sb_filter.py", line 248, in main action(msg) File "/usr/bin/sb_filter.py", line 180, in filter return self.h.filter(msg) File "/usr/lib/.../spambayes/hammie.py", line 109, in filter prob, clues = self._scoremsg(msg, True) File "/usr/lib/.../spambayes/hammie.py", line 38, in _scoremsg return self.bayes.spamprob(tokenize(msg), evidence) File "/usr/lib/.../spambayes/classifier.py", line 190, in chi2_spamprob clues = self._getclues(wordstream) File "/usr/lib/.../spambayes/classifier.py", line 493, in _getclues tup = self._worddistanceget(word) File "/usr/lib/.../spambayes/classifier.py", line 508, in _worddistanceget prob = self.probability(record) File "/usr/lib/.../spambayes/classifier.py", line 311, in probability assert spamcount <= nspam AssertionError -------------------------------8<--------------------- NB ... = python2.4/site-packages And after browsing (and googling) the internet, the above error seems to point to a corrupt DB file.

A very basic question. How do I change the mail client to "localhost". This option does not appear in control panel/internet options/programs/e - mail. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks in advance Trevor Bullock

IMAPFilter question
by Don Ireland Sept. 11, 2006

Sept. 11, 2006

1st--I DID try to access the readme file to see if this question was answered there before deciding to write this message to the list. Background for my questions: I have an outsourced IMAP account (at fusemail.com). Although there spam filters do a decent job, I'd like to improve on that. I check my email on my Treo650, at work and at home (on a different PC from this "utility PC"). Now the questions: 1) Can I install this imapfilter for SpamBayes on my home pc (it is a utility pc handling several different functions and is therefore left on all the time) and have it check my account on a regular basis and move spam to the appropriate folder? 2) When a spam message DOES get through, can I just move the message to the spam folder and have SB automatically train on that as spam 3) Can SB delete the message when it's done training on it? THANKS! Don Ireland
