Skip: Looks great. Most open-source websites expect novice users to somehow guess which code to download. Same with manufacturer's websites for printer drivers. Wish more of them would have a table like the one you propose. One suggestion: Add a note (or footnote) "source code only" where relevant. I've never mastered installing form source code and so only download compiled code. It's nice to know which links lead only to source code so I can avoid them :( As for untested apps, yes, please list, with a note. - David -----Original Message----- From: spambayes-bounces(a)python.org [mailto:spambayes-bounces@python.org] On Behalf Of skip(a)pobox.com Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 8:31 PM To: spambayes-dev(a)python.org; spambayes(a)python.org Subject: [Spambayes] Major change to the website front page - feedback please 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

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes
by David Reichard Feb. 8, 2008

Feb. 8, 2008

I switched to Outlook 2007 a few weeks ago and am running SpamBayes with no problem. So it appears SpamBayes is compatible with Outlook 2007. Not sure what may be the problem with your installation. I had a similar problem with a different plug in, and that software publisher admits that they don't work with Outlook 2007 yet.

Spambayes-1.0.4.zip
by Bill Stephens Feb. 8, 2008

Feb. 8, 2008

Twice I have tried to download the subject program, but each time all I get is 20 KB, whereas your web pages indicate that the ZIP file will be 803,545 bytes. Naturally, when I click to open it, PKZIP comes up with an error message. After the first failure to unzip, I tried to download the program again, but was told that the file already exists -- so I deleted it, then again clicked to download. Again, only 20KB came through. I have Windows XP, SP2 What can I do to successfully download the program? Bill

Outlook Express

Feb. 7, 2008

I was getting all excited about using this application for spam control, but then I saw your note that it does not work with Outlook Express. Cox Cable in Phoenix, AZ, only supports Outlook Express for email. Do you have plans to modify your application to include Outlook Express in the near future? If not, what would be the next best free application to deal with spam? Your inputs will be appreciated. Sounds like you are the experts! Don Sundby d.sundby(a)cox.net H: 480-614-1329

Seems like if you buy regular Outlook you should be able to get your Cox email working with it. Maybe they don't offer technical support about how to set it up, but any mail system that works with Outlook Express should work with Outlook.

SpamBayes will not load in Outlook
by Stephen Steineck Feb. 7, 2008

Feb. 7, 2008

I have added some more information in this email I am running Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 on Vista Ultimate. I have an Intel dual core processor. I have downloaded and installed SpamBayes with the Outlook plug-in. Outlook will not start with the plugin active. Outlook closes and has me deactivate the plug in before it will open. I have tried to start Outlook as Administrator but nothing changes. I have looked at the FAQs and find nothing that works. I can't even find the log file since SpamBayes never loads and there is no access to the toolbar (I can't see it at least) because Outlook never loads with the plugin active. Is there something I should do to correct this? Thank you, Stephen Steineck, Owner Abbey Spring 800-844-0448 707-545-0278, local 707-542-3117, fx www.abbeyspring.com s.steineck(a)abbeyspring.com
