Receiving Encrypted e-mails
by Xavier Serret April 21, 2008

April 21, 2008

Dear, We are using SpanBayes and are very happy about this software. However, today I tried to install signed e-mails and then exchange encrypted e-mails with our clients. Now, when I receive an encrypted e-mail, SpamBayes sends it to the JunkSuspects. When I aks to "recover from spam", I get an error message saying thet "no filterable items are selected" although the e-mail is selected. Any idea how to configure the SpamBayes Manager to accept encrypted e-mails ? Thanks a lot ! Xavier Serret. Xavier Serret - Managing Director.

Spambayes created _Inbox on Outlook Express
by Terry Owen April 19, 2008

April 19, 2008

With the implementation of Spambayes I now have an Inbox and an _Inbox. _Inbox was created by Spambayes and all of the incoming mail appears in that folder. Outlook Express only filters automatically from the Inbox so I cannot filter the spam to another folder. Do you have any ideas about how to fix this? Terry

David> Hi Skip, tghanks for all your help. Looks like damned if you do David> and damned if you don't. If I take of AVG, I'm left without David> anti-virus and if I leave it on, it's going to interfere with the David> "points rating". No easy solution, so I'll just have to do what David> you say and keep marking the rubbish as such!! No, the easy solution is to continue training unsures and mistakes (only!) until the AVG tokens no longer matter. SpamBayes will choose other tokens which indicate he nature of the email. In this particular case, if those 10 clues are ignored my guess is all the skip:* clues will dominate and it will be regarded as spam. If you (or anyone else) are at all interested in understanding a bit about how SpamBayes work you might want to read the background reading page: http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/background.html and the stuff it links to. It's really quite elegant at the core. -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/

Re: [Spambayes] Does SpamBayes 1.0.4 support POP3 SSL connections?

Are there any plans to make an add-on version of SpamBayes Craig> 1.1 for use with Thunderbird? None that I'm aware of. I suppose if the Thunderbayes author doesn't want to support it anymore we could see if he'd be willing to let us suck it into SpamBayes. That would at least keep it from getting lost. Skip

Connection error message
by Danny Sheinis April 16, 2008

When someone emails me a file of any size (5 MB or bigger) I often get an error message when downloading my email that says "Connection to server localhost timed out." Why does this happen? I'm using Windows XP Pro and Home (two machines, same problem), one using AVG and one using McAfee.

David> I have been training it, but they still pour in!! I just wondered David> if there's any specific instruction you could give, but I suppose David> it's like a blacklist/whitelist - defeats the purpose. Ah well!! Post such a message with the score info so we can have a look. I believe the Outlook plugin gives you a fairly easy way to do this. It might also be helpful if you could post your config file. It's possible something related to non-ASCII text is set incorrectly. -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/

Blocking messages with Cyrillic characters in title
by David April 16, 2008

April 16, 2008

Hi, I'm using Spambayes with Outlook on XP SP-2. Absolutely no problem and extremely satisfied. I have been getting a large amount of spam with headers using Cyrillic characters. Is it possible to train Spambayes to recognise these and automatically delete them as spam? Kindest regards David Kanareck No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
