Spambayes on Windows 7
by bob Feb. 19, 2010

Feb. 19, 2010

I have just tried out Spambayes 1.0.4 on Windows 7, Outlook 2003. It works fine. You just have to set it up in Pop3 mode and use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost for the Outlook Pop server. The integrated Outlook mode didn't work, and Windows 7 doesn't recognize localhost.

FW: Windows 7 x64 - Problems
by Ocean Jan. 7, 2010

Jan. 7, 2010

I've been continuing to look into this, but I don't know how to fix what's broken. I'm guessing that the root of the issue is either the "Python error invoking COM method" or the " ValueError: (22, 'Invalid argument')", but I don't have the grounding in python I need to understand what the problem is. Can anyone shed some light on this? > -----Original Message----- > From: Ocean [mailto:Ocean@acloakinthewood.com] > Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2009 1:25 PM > To: 'mhammond(a)skippinet.com.au' > Cc: 'spambayes(a)python.org' > Subject: FW: [Spambayes] Windows 7 x64 - Problems > > > > > > Well, I uninstalled all the 64 bit stuff, and installed the 32-bit stuff.

You could have antivirus or firewall software (or some combination) that is interfering with the download. Since no one else is having a problem, it appears to be something specific to your computer. You could always go to another computer, download it to a USB stick and then install it on the first computer from that. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.

Is there something in C:\Python or C:\Program Files\Python? (Also, when I wrote "Works for me" I meant that I was able to download the .exe from the prdownloads.sourceforge.net website. I don't run Windows so I can't actually execute the installer.) Skip

>> Looks like your training database is corrupt. Just zap it and >> retrain from your mailboxes of saved spam and ham. Mark> Ok, my database is corrupt again overnight. All I do is train it Mark> overnight once. Why would the training corrupt it? Most of the database types can only have one process accessing them at once. If you happen to have two writers your database is almost guaranteed to be corrupt. If you have a reader and a writer it's still possible that the reader will see the database in a transitional state which is inconsistent with the expectations of the reader. What type of database storage are you using? I seem to recall you're using sb_filter.py. Make sure mail isn't processed when you're retraining. In my procmailrc file I use sb_bnfilter.py: SCORE="sb_bnfilter.py -a 30 -A 250" ... :0 fw:scorelock~ | $SCORE When retraining I make sure that incoming mail isn't processed. If necessary, I kill the long-running sb_bnfilter.py process first. Skip

Okay, some more data. I ran the Trace Collector and ran the test suite. I have no idea how to copy/save information from the Trace Collector, so I have to manually type in stuff, and I'll have to hope I'm giving you the relevant information here. It starts out like this: ------------------- Running 'Filtering tests' with Filter.save_spam_info=True, Filter.timer_enabled=False Performing Spam test on watch folder 'My Folders/Inbox'... pythoncom error: Python error invoking COM method. ------------------- I then have a number of Traceback entries, with the last couple of lines being: ------------------ File "D:\Progs\Python\Lib\email\utils.py", line 143, in formatdate now = time.localtime(timeval) ValueError: (22, 'Invalid argument') Restoring standard configuration... ------------------- ...followed by it reseting itself to watch everything again. Further down, it says: ------------------ Processing missed spam in folder 'Inbox' by starting a timer ------------------ ...followed by all the folders it didn't miss any in. Then we have a Traceback section again that ends in: ------------------- File "D:\Progs\SpamBayes 1.1a4\Outlook2000\tester.py", line 170, in CheckMessageFilteredFrom TestFailed("The test message remained in folder '%s'" % ms_folder.GetFQName()) File "D:\Progs\SpamBayes 1.1a4\Outlook2000\tester.py", line 38, in TestFailed raise TestFailure(msg) TestFailure: The test message remained in folder 'My Folders/Inbox' ------------------- ...etc... If you need more of the trace information, let me know (along with how to copy the information so I don't have to type it in manually by hand!).
