When Outlook 2003 receives messages and SpamBayes processes them, Outlook always come up on the screen, very annoying. How can I avoid this ? Thank you. Alfred

Hi, I seem to have lost my SpamBayes manager. The buttons are still there, but the drop down menu doesn't work. It is not filtering messages. I am running MS Outlook 2003. Help!

Untraining?
by G. Armour Van Horn May 19, 2009

May 19, 2009

I've been running the same instance of SpamBayes (1.1a3) for ages, as a proxy, and it's been doing a stellar job. I train this by exception on an ongoing basis, classifying all the Unsures and marking any Ham that rates over 10% as Ham, and on rare occasions marking something that the proxy classified as Ham as Spam. (There have been very few of these to deal with.) However, about three days ago I started seeing a huge increase (maybe ten times) in the volume of mail marked as Unsure, all of which seemed to be obviously spam to me, along with a dozen or so a day sailing through as Ham, often scored as 0.00%. I recall that this can happen over time, and I'm pretty sure I've solved it in the past for others by flushing out all their training and starting over, but I can't for the life of me remember how to do that. The proxy is running on an ancient Fedora Core 5 machine that doesn't have much else to do. I see hammie.db and spambayes.messageinfo.db in /opt/st_data/ and my database backend is set to dbm.

SpamBayes Configuration Wizard?

When I open Outlook I get this message, but can not find the Configuration Wizard. Where should I look? You should know I'm just a "user" and a simple explanation. Pronto

Manually uninstall SpamBayes Outlook?
by Eric Stoll May 17, 2009

May 17, 2009

I have uninstalled SpamBayes using add/remove programs but it still show up in my Outlook toolbar and it's still filtering email; although, the toolbar add-in isn't working (i.e. the menu doesn't appear, I can't get to SpamBayes manager, the Spam and Not Spam buttons don't do anything, etc.) How can I manually uninstall this add-in? Thank you, Eric Stoll

Restarting problem
by Jocelyn Hartland-Swann May 15, 2009

May 15, 2009

Hi, Help needed! I've been running SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Binary Version 1.0.4 successfully for several weeks under Windows XP Pro SP3. My mail client is Outlook Express 6, & my web browser is Firefox 3.0.10. Everything's been working like a dream. Yesterday I mistakenly hit either the 'Stop' or the 'Exit' button on my SpamBayes 'Home' page as I was closing down my PC for the night. Now every time I try to receive email, I get the message "The connection to the server has failed" relating to the two ports that SpamBayes is intercepting as a proxy, namely 8110 & 8111. When I try to get into SpamBayes (to 'Review messages' or 'Configure') via the tray icon, my browser tries to connect to http://localhost:8880/config but fails. I can't find any other way in to restart SpamBayes - I've read your trouble-shooting guide but haven't found any relevant tips. I feel sure there's a terribly simple solution that I've missed. I'd prefer not to have to start over as I've got a nicely trained system after more than 1100 sessions! Thanks in advance if you can help me crack the problem. Although I can't receive email, I can still read webmail. Kind regards, Joss Hartland-Swann

SpamBayes 1.1a4 on Windows XP (correction)
by Kyle Allender May 9, 2009

May 9, 2009

Hi. Encountered an error after a clean install of SpamBayes 1.1a4 with Thunderbird 2.0.0.21: *Training...* 500 Server error Traceback (most recent call last): File "spambayes\Dibbler.pyc", line 476, in found_terminator File "spambayes\UserInterface.pyc", line 561, in onTrain File "spambayes\Stats.pyc", line 134, in RecordTraining File "spambayes\message.pyc", line 147, in set_persistent_statistics File "shelve.pyc", line 130, in __setitem__ TypeError: object does not support item assignment This error occurred when I was attempting to train on a previously collected directory of spam messages. Any hints? This is Windows XP SP 3, Python 2.6.2. Thanks. Per advice, I am attaching the log file for review as well. I do note that the beginning of the log the statement "Service not available." I had to manually remove the pop3proxy service after a previous installation was failing to stay running after starting up. I have not yet rebooted since the clean install - I did not specifically install a service on this go-round - I didn't see it as an option using the GUI installer, either. Service not available. Using thread. Loading database... User interface url is http://localhost:8880/ Loading database... Listener on port 110 is proxying mail.netins.net:110 Loading database... Listener on port 110 is proxying mail.netins.net:110
