Outlook issues after latest Office updates
by john.wood＠electric-software.com March 22, 2007

March 22, 2007

Hi there I am running Outlook 2003 on XP SP2 in an Exchange and POP3 mixed environment. I ran all the latest DST patches and all the WIndows and Office updates yesterday. Today the SpamBayes will not run, no matter what I try. I have tried all the add-in troubleshooting, but at first the toolbar was there but not working, now I can not even get it to show back up - the program will install but then when I open outlook I get the message that Outlook generated an error and needed to close. Then it says SpamBayes caused problems when it was last run and would I like to disable it, so I have to say yes to open Outlook. I wonder if the updates were enough to make it break. SpamBayes 1.0.4. The log files are empty as well. There are 4 spambayes log files but nothing in them. Thanks, John

Log for install
by Douglas Thomas Hayden March 1, 2007

March 1, 2007

Here's the log for an install after an uninstall (that didn't go clean, somehow the user did it even though "she didn't do anything"). I've tried all the info I've found via Google searches (as mentioned in my last email, before I noticed that you wanted a log file)...one moment and I'll grab that and paste it in.... here's the scoop: Win XP Media Center Edition 2005 Outlook 2003 SpamBayes 1.0.4 *working* ....give to client...... (first mistake) User managed to uninstall SpamBayes, leaving the toolbar in place (fixed per your instructions). When I tried to find the addin.py file (or close to that) to run --unregister, couldn't find it. Flushed out every trace of SpamBayes I could find (with help from Google searches): c:\docs&settings\<user>\Application data; c:\ProgramFiles\SpamBayes; searching on 'spambayes', 'bayes', & 'spam' in registry; etc. Still wouldn't install SpamBayes. Next I assumed that Outlook 2003 was broken (possible), and that it wouldn't allow *any* COM add-ins. So I downloaded and installed AttachmentOptions. It installed fine, and added its tab to the 'Tools' | 'Options' menu. When I run the SpamBayes installer, it runs fine to completion. One odd quirk, though: It doesn't fill in the checkbox to 'register this plug-in for all users.' How am I being stupid, and is it possible to correct it? Thanks In Advance, Doug Hayden

Can not install the tool bar
by Mary Pelikan Feb. 28, 2007

Feb. 28, 2007

I have down loaded spambayes. I saved the program then ran the program with the installation wizard. The program seems to be installed however I do not get a tool bar on my outlook menu bar. I had previously had spambayes installed and it worked fine until there was a problem with something I do not know what but it said that I had to deactivate spambayes to fix it. I do not see anything in the FAQ about the tool bars. Please help me I get a lot of spam and it is hampering my life.

12 char limit on tokens
by Peter Bishop Feb. 27, 2007

Feb. 27, 2007

I was looking into why "Schwarzenegger" was not recognized as a token, when I discovered that you had determined that it was good to have a 12 character limit on tokens. Is this really better that a 15 char limit? Peter Bishop

all of the sudden, spambayes quit working
by Matt Fischer Feb. 26, 2007

Feb. 26, 2007

I have been using Spambayes for about 2 years now, but all of the sudden it quit working. I dont have much info on the failure, is there a "verbose" option that I can enable? Also, I did try resetting my database, but the result was the same. procmail: Locking "hamlock" procmail: Executing "sb_filter.py,-d,.hammie.db" /home/mfischer/sb_filter.py: sb_filter.py: Transport endpoint is not connected procmail: Error while writing to "sb_filter.py" procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded procmail: Unlocking "hamlock" Here's my procmail file (the relevant portion): :0fw:hamlock | /home/mfischer/local/bin/sb_filter.py -d $HOME/.hammie.db I was able to manually run sb_filter.py -h, -v, and -n. My system (shared host) has python 2.3.5

Re: [Spambayes] Spambayes - Office 2007 - Outlook.

To the list: I'll reply in Dutch, because I see this person has the same ISP as me. Besides, I have some relevant info for him. :) Beste Lorenz, Ik kan op voorhand niet zeggen of Spambayes werkt met Office 2007. Ik denk dat geen enkele van de programmeurs al Office 2007 heeft, en ik denk zelfs dat de meeste zelfs geen Windows hebben. Spambayes is namelijk gratis, dus daar gaan ze al geen geld mee verdienen om het dure Office 2007 mee te kopen. Ik zou zeggen, probeer het gewoon. Misschien werkt het, des te beter. Mocht het zijn dat de Outlook plugin niet werkt, dan zou volgens mij in ieder geval toch de POP3-proxy moeten werken. Die is iets minder handig, maar werkt even goed. Voor meer uitleg over de POP3-proxy raadpleeg je best de website en de FAQ van Spambayes. Misschien handig om weten: ik ben bestuurslid van Tik vzw (Telecom & Internet Klantenvereniging), waaronder ook de Pandora User Base valt (Telenet klantenvereniging). Binnenkort gaan we op onze website een onderdeel maken over gratis software voor het internet (besprekingen + handleidingen), en Spambayes zal daarin zeker en vast ook vermeld worden. Meer info binnenkort op http://www.tik.be/ -- Vriendelijke groeten, Amedee Van Gasse amedee(a)amedee.be Raad van Bestuur Tik vzw PUB Forum moderator amedee(a)tik.be
