Mailman 3 February 2008 - SpamBayes

Initial thoughts - SpamBayes + Gmail w/ IMAP *and* POP3
by skip＠pobox.com Feb. 11, 2008

Feb. 11, 2008

Okay, so tonight I got the SpamBayes IMAP filter working with Gmail after applying a patch that Dave Abrahams submitted about a year ago. (I've yet to check that in, but will do it tomorrow.) My current setup is Gmail w/ POP3 for download and SpamBayes filtering on my laptop. To this I added the IMAP filter. I haven't done too much with it yet, but it works. After a fashion. I'm not particularly keen on the way the IMAP filter operates, but that's probably just my inexperience with IMAP and the way it forces you to work. I wound up creating two labels, "sbham" and "sbspam". Those appear as folders to the IMAP filter. Any message I wanted it to train on get one of those labels. I have it classify messages in both my INBOX and Spam folders. Unfortunately, I tend to dump my spam periodically via the Gmail interface. Most messages with the sbspam label wind up in my Spam folder. I'll have to get in the habit of not deleting spam tagged with that label so I wind up with something to (re)train on later. Since Gmail has its own spam filter (which you can't disable) I can't help but feeling that the two systems are going to duke it out a bit. We'll see how that works. While I think about it, I also have a Yahoo! Mail address. That tool supports IMAP as well, but you have to upgrade to a "premium" mail service. I imagine it's not all that expensive, but I'll continue to experiment with free mail options for now. Skip

Filtering Problem
by Gary Attanasio Feb. 9, 2008

Feb. 9, 2008

For the predominant part, my SpamBayes is not filtering. 1. I am confident that I have set up the “Spam” and “Ham” folders correctly – I have used SpamBayes in the past with XP with incredible success. 2. I have Vista (Home Premium) OS and SpamBayes Version 1.0.4 (March 2005) – is this the best version? 3. Please see the following screen grabs – if you will. a. This one shows the training window – usually in the past, I saw a green status bar advance while training. I only see that for an instant, then the bar disappears and the screen below is what I have left... 4. This next window is your “Advanced” tab window. It shows that “SpamBayes has processed zero messages”. What’s up with that? Yet this next window congratulates me on successfully having trained and configured SpamBayes…. Any help, or direction in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Quality of life has somewhat diminished without a properly functioning SpamBayes. Thank you for your consideration. gary Gary Attanasio (678) 585.9090 (Direct) (770) 234.5165 (Fax) (917) 822.1786 (Cell) HYPERLINK "mailto:garya@orad.tv"garya(a)orad.tv HYPERLINK "http://www.orad.tv/"www.orad.tv No virus found in this outgoing message.

Major change to the website front page - feedback please
by skip＠pobox.com Feb. 8, 2008

Feb. 8, 2008

With all the questions today about what SpamBayes will work on, I think it would be a good idea to make it easier for people to decide what to download for different operating system/mail program combinations. I've attached a tentative replacement. I would like feedback on the table right at the top of the page. For combinations which haven't been tested (e.g., IncrediMail, Yahoo! Mail, etc), should I offer any download options? Maybe just a link to the 1.1a4 source? At any rate, feedback please. I'd like to install a replacement tomorrow if possible to try and head off many of the types of questions we received today. Thanks, Skip
