Permission Request for 'SpamBayes: Unix/Linux pla...'
by Karen Mgebrova Feb. 10, 2012

Feb. 10, 2012

Hello, I've known you website for ages, strictly speaking from year 2006. I found interesting your publication "SpamBayes: Unix/Linux platform" which I googled on http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/unix.html ! I'd love to use it in a project I'm involved with called "Armenian FCW Science", so I'm seeking your permission for translation to Armenian language. "Armenian FCW Science" is a freemium-model non-English language orientated startup with collection of scientific articles, personal notes etc. in several languages that is collaboratively edited by volunteers from around the world since 1999. Young and old, students and professors - even your neighbor could be a volunteer member. If you agree, we will credit you for your work in the resulting translation's references by stating that it was based on your work and is used with your permission, and by mentioning the name of my project "Armenian FCW Science" back to: http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/unix.html Thank you for your time and patience. I look forward to your response next week. --- Happy and successful 2012, Karen Mgebrova Yerevan, Armenia (GMT +4)

Installing SpamBayes on Windows 7 64-bit with Outlook 2007
by bgardner＠iprotech.info Jan. 24, 2012

Jan. 24, 2012

Hello, list. I just got SpamBayes running on Windows 7 64-bit with Outlook 2007. I couldn't have done it without hints from here and there on the web, so I want to share what I've learned in hope that it will help someone else. Im moving from 32-bit XP with Outlook 2007 to 64-bit Windows 7 with Outlook 7. Outlook is connecting to an Exchange 2003 server. The old version was v1.0.4. The new versions reports itself as v1.1b2 although it was installed from a file named 'spambayes-1.1a6.exe' downloaded 2012-01-24 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/spambayes/files/spambayes/1.1a6/spambayes-1…. I read here (http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/faq.html#can-i-share-move-my-training-data…) that it is best to copy the database files to the new installation, but leave the .ini file behind, so I copied the .db files in c:\documents and settings\<username>\application data\SpamBayes to my new machine. Initially I copied them to c:\users\<username>\appdata\local\SpamBayes, but that didn't work out. More on that later. I read here (http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/) that it is suggested to install SpamBayes to a non-standard directory, so I installed to c:\SpamBayes. Interestingly, the installer didn't think I had Outlook installed. I had to tell it to install anyway. I believe this is caused by the change in folder structure in 64-bit Windows. Outlook 2007 is a 32-bit app so it gets installed under c:\program files (x86) on a 64-bit machine. Running Outlook for the first time after installing, there was no SpamBayes toolbar and SpamBayes did not show up as an installed add-in. I started researching how to install a generic Outlook add-in and found this page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb206739%28v=office.12%29.aspx), which lead me to the registry. There was no HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SpamBayes.OutlookAddin key, so I created one by eyeball-copying the info from my old machine. Here's what I put in: 32-bit DWORD, name: CommandLineSafe, value: 0 32-bit DWORD, name: LoadBehavior, value: 3 String, name: Description, value: SpamBayes anti-spam tool String, name: FriendlyName, value: SpamBayes After that, when starting Outlook, SpamBayes appeared to work. The initial config wizard came up and the toolbar was present. However, it seemed that the system wasn't seeing my migrated .db files. I set up which folders to watch and where to move messages, then in SpamBayes Manager on the Advanced tab, I clicked the Show Data Folder button and saw that SpamBayes was expecting .db files in c:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\SpamBayes. So I closed Outlook and moved my .db files into that folder. Opening Outlook again, 'Training database status' on the SpamBayes Manager general tab reported the correct number of learned good and spam, so I figure it's working. Summary: Install to a non-standard directory (ex: c:\SpamBayes) .db files should be in c:\users\<username>\appdata\roaming\SpamBayes Need appropriate info in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SpamBayes.OutlookAddin Cheers, Brent Gardner

Rush of spam
by Gary Smith Jan. 20, 2012

Jan. 20, 2012

HI, I just returned home and downloaded the latest email. I have one non-filtered email address that is work related and I can't miss any valid email due to ISP filtering. Normally I get several hundred spam/day with this email address but usually none get to the email program without being properly ID'd by Spambayes. Today was the exception and what came in over the last 5 hours seemed to pass through the filters. Looking at the raw headers I see something from spambayes that I have not seen before. Here is a copy of what came through: X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Message-ID: <769329319.20120119165831(a)doctorgary.net> To: ygary@>My_domain_name<.net Subject: Need your help! MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----------80555C1EBFDADA" X-ME-Bayesian: 0.000000 Return-Path: <SharonCahalane(a)preiss85.de> X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 120120-0, 01/20/2012), Inbound message X-Antivirus-Status: Clean X-Spambayes-Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): . File "sb_server.pyc", line 499, in onRetr .

File "bsddb\__init__.pyc", line 116, in __getitem__ .DBRunRecoveryError: (-30982, 'DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- fatal region error detected; run recovery') X-PMFLAGS: 570966400 0 65537 PC1U10EO.CNM And here is Spambayes x-header from another SPAM: X-Spambayes-Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): . File "sb_server.pyc", line 499, in onRetr . File "spambayes\message.pyc", line 263, in setId . File "spambayes\message.pyc", line 119, in _getState . File "shelve.pyc", line 118, in __getitem__ .

Any ideas what may be the cause of this glitch? Thanks!

Two questions regarding Spambayes
by Gary Smith Jan. 13, 2012

Jan. 13, 2012

Hi, Spambayes Version 1.1b2 Windows 7 64bit I just migrated my .ini to a new computer and used to have spambayes on drive C but now I'm using a SSD and have spambayes on drive E. I receive emails from 5 separate accounts which I read with each email going into their respective folders in Pegasus. I migrated the old spambayes.ini and hammie/spammie to the windows user sub-directory so as to not have to retrain or change the settings. First issue is spambayes does not automatically start when Windows starts. It used to on my old machine but I can't figure out how to do this with the current setup; I have to manually start spambayes every time I reboot the computer. The other thing is when I try to save a configuration change I get the notice below in a web page message with the address: http://localhost:8880/changeopts -------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "spambayes\Dibbler.pyo", line 476, in found_terminator File "spambayes\UserInterface.pyo", line 883, in onChangeopts File "spambayes\ProxyUI.pyo", line 569, in reReadOptions File "sb_server.pyo", line 981, in _recreateState UnboundLocalError: local variable 'state' referenced before assignment ------------------------------ Any suggestions on how to resolve either or both of these? Thanks!
