errors running Autoconfigure.py

Hi, I was trying to run autoconfigure.py, but it doesn't work for some reason: Traceback (most recent call last): File "H:\Downloads\Console2\SpamBayes\autoconfigure.py", line 75, in <module> from spambayes import oe_mailbox File "H:\Python26\lib\site-packages\spambayes-1.1a6-py2.6.egg\spambayes\oe_mailbox.py", line 41, in <module> from spambayes import msgs File "H:\Python26\lib\site-packages\spambayes-1.1a6-py2.6.egg\spambayes\msgs.py", line 6, in <module> from spambayes.tokenizer import tokenize File "H:\Python26\lib\site-packages\spambayes-1.1a6-py2.6.egg\spambayes\tokenizer.py", line 25, in <module> cache = dnscache.cache(cachefile=options["Tokenizer", "lookup_ip_cache"]) File "H:\Python26\lib\site-packages\spambayes-1.1a6-py2.6.egg\spambayes\dnscache.py", line 120, in __init__ DNS.DiscoverNameServers() File "H:\Python26\lib\site-packages\DNS\Base.py", line 64, in DiscoverNameServers defaults['server']=win32dns.RegistryResolve() File "H:\Python26\lib\site-packages\DNS\win32dns.py", line 66, in RegistryResolve nameserver = _winreg.QueryValueEx(y, "NameServer")[0].split() WindowsError: [Error 2] System can't find the file indicated. (this line is translated to English, it could be a bit different on English Windows). I have Windows XP with Python 2.6.5, pydns-2.3.4. installed too. I was split between asking here and on dev list, but it's just running the script no development involved (but let me know if dev list was more suited). While I'm a Python noob I'll probably find a way around by ignoring SB modules and accessing the SB ini file directly which is fairly easy, still thought to ask here whether there is some cleaner solution. Thank you! Tomas

SpamBayes and Windows 7

We will be installing new computers using Windows 7 Professional operating system. Is there a version of SpamBayes which runs on that operating system? We are using SpamBayes 1.04 on various computers within the office on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional and it works beautifully. I would like to continue to use the same program on our new computers. Thanks. P Please consider the environment before printing this email Connie S.

Morning, Do you have any idea when SpamBayes will work with Outlook 2010? The filters built in are mostly worthless. I hope soon. Thanks, John John E.

I recommend you use the test release as well (currently 1.1a6). Amedee, Mark or other more knowledgeable user or developer, can you send me updated information for the table on this page? http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ I will update it for Windows 7. Skip

SpamBayes moves ham to wrong Inbox
by Amedee Van Gasse May 25, 2010

May 25, 2010

Config: Spambayes 1.1a6 + Outlook 2010 + Dovecot IMAP. I noticed something annoying. I have configured the following folders: * Inbox to watch = IMAP Inbox, not the Outlook inbox. * Spam folder = IMAP folder ztrain.spam * Unsure folder = IMAP folder ztrain.unsure Each time I mark a suspected spam message as ham, two things happen: * email is moved to Outlook Inbox, not IMAP Inbox * email is copied to IMAP Trash I guess that the second thing is a side effect of the move to another mail hierarchy outside IMAP. The result is that mail ends up where I don't want it. I have not yet configured the Certain Good folder, perhaps that is what causes SpamBayes to move to the wrong Inbox? -- Amedee

Confirmed: Spambayes 1.1a6 + Windows 7 (32bit) + Outlook 2010 works
by Amedee Van Gasse May 24, 2010

May 24, 2010

As the topic says, Spambayes 1.1a6 + Windows 7 (32bit) + Outlook 2010 works. I'm running it now in my virtual machine. Just a couple of questions: 1. The Outlook plugin reports version 1.1bs (March 6, 2010). Why is that? 2. On Linux I have a file $HOME/.hammie.db, as described in the instructions on http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/unix.html. On Windows there is no file with that name, but there is a file c:\Users\Amedee\AppData\Roaming\SpamBayes\default_bayes_database. Is that the same file as .hammie.db? Can I copy the file between Windows and Linux? -- Amedee

Spambayes as Postfix before-queue filter
by Amedee Van Gasse May 23, 2010

May 23, 2010

I found a way to run Spambayes as a Postfix before-queue filter. You also need qpsmtpd: http://wiki.qpsmtpd.org qpsmtpd is an SMTP receiver that has several plugins, and one of them is a Spambayes plugin: http://wiki.qpsmtpd.org/plugins http://wiki.qpsmtpd.org/plugins:spam:spambayes It works like this: * Postfix runs on port 25 and does all usual checks * It passes the accepted mail to qpsmtpd that runs for example on port 10024. This is done with the SMTP protocol * qpsmtpd sends the mail to sb_filter.py * sb_filter.py scores the mail and adds the X-Spambayes headers * qpsmtpd sends the mail to a second Postfix instance that runs for example on port 10025. It does that by using the original SMTP commands it got from the first Postfix instance * Postfix 2 does its works and queues the mail for mailbox delivery. This approach is interesting for small configs like mine, with only two users (my wife and myself). Apart from the fact that all email gets X-Spambayes headers (no need to do that in .procmailrc any more), there is an intriguing possibility. One could configure the second Postfix instance to reject all mail with a high spam score, using header_checks. The really, *really* interesting part is that this is an SMTP reject, not a bounce. In other words, the SMTP session with the original server is still open, so the reject gets sent from postfix2 to qpsmtpd; from qpsmtpd to postfix1, and from postfix1 all the way back to the spammer. The *real* spammer. This does not create backscatter. All of this is still theory, but I'm going to try this in a couple of weeks, after my CS exams. Kind regards, Amedee Van Gasse --
