Spambayes engine for usenet client?

Does anyone know if the Spambayes engine is/has been used for filtering news groups? I like usenet but am tired of the NG killers that post tons of trash and I thought Spambayes might be a good client side solution. Do you think it could work? Any response is appreciated. Thanks, Rich

spam scoring question/problem
by John Giglio March 29, 2009

March 29, 2009

hi I've used Spambayes for about 3 years with great success. I recently reinstalled it after having to rebuild my desktop, and I now find that it puts messages with spam scores as low as 0 into the Junk email folder, even though I have it set to classify only messages that score 90 or above as certain spam and put them in the Junk email folder, and messages with a score of 15 or above are classified as suspected spam and put in the Junk Suspects folder. I followed the usual process of retraining it with messages that I had previously retained that were known "good" and known "spam", but it now routinely puts messages that I trained it to identify as "good" into the Junk email folder. I recover those messages, and have it set to train that when I recover a message from the Junk email folder to classify it as good, but it continues to put messages with scores of zero in the Junk email folder. I checked to see that I had the latest version of the software, and do. any suggestions? John

Reset for an Outlook e-mail account
by Michael Kallay March 22, 2009

March 22, 2009

I use your product and I love it! I have sent you a donation sometime in the past. I will be happy to send another one if you help me with the following. (I know that bribe is not needed, but I write software for a living and I like my work to be appreciated). I use SpamBayes with MS Outlook 2003 and it works for me. My wife has separate Windows and Outlook accounts on the same (Windows XP) computer, and her SpamBayes has stopped working. It may have something to do with the fact that she had somehow deleted the Junk Suspects folder, but God knows what else she might have done. The Delete As Spam button is still there, it doesn't do anything. The Recover button is gone. Her COM Addins list is empty. (Lookout is missing as well, how did she do that?) Trying to extrapolate from the COM Addins list in my account, I tried to Add your Outlook_addin.dll but that doesn't do anything. The dialog seems to expect a .exe file. I could remove the entire program and download and reinstall it, but I fear that I may then lose the information that my copy has already learned about spam. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Michael

Hello again! I sent an earlier message, but without a log file. Here’s the log file. I’m using SpamBayes with Outlook 2007. It worked fine for a long time, not all of a sudden there’s a problem. When I try to launch Outlook, it freezes and asks me to disable SpamBayes. Thanks for the eventual help. Richard -- This message was scanned by ESVA and is believed to be clean.

but with Outlook 2007
by Richard Lamoureux March 19, 2009

Hello. I am using SpamBayes 1.0.4 with Outlook 2007 on a Vista system. For a long time, it worked fine. Now, Outlook won't start until I disable the SpamBayes add-in. I'd love to send a log file, but haven't a clue as to how I would do that. Sorry. Thanks for the help. Richard
