Re: [Spambayes] Spambayes not from Trusted site

I had the same problem with Windows XP SP3 and Outlook 2007. It's because SpamBayes doesn't have a digital signature from a trusted site. I fixed it by going to Tools / Trust Center / Add-ins in Outlook and UNCHECKING the "Apply macro security to installed add-ins" box. Paul Williams Suburban Tool, Inc. 4141 N.

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes Proxy: Cannot configure

The failure would be because SpamBayes is not functioning. Until it is, you will need to revert the Windows Mail config as it was before. Once you get spambayes working, then make the client changes. My spambayes server is on a remote host, so an outbound firewall rule for tcp port 8880 was required; however, I have assumed you are running spambayes on the same system as Windows Live, so that should not be an issue. I'll do my best to guide you in the error messages you've listed below. Truthfully, it looks like some of the defaults were not set during the install; or perhaps, a default bayescustomize.ini file was not created for you. On 10/28/2013 1:28 PM, A.

The section in brackets identifies the configuration section on the web page and is located immediately below the pop3 proxy options. The 1st two can be blank, but the word "none" is not allowed. The third has only 2 options, as indicated in the error message. I believe the default is false. ># > > # 'None' is not a value valid for [Storage Options] Storage file name > # 'None' is not a value valid for [Storage Options] Message information > file name > # 'None' is not a value valid for [Storage Options] Cache messages. > Valid values are: False,True > # 'None' is not a value valid for [Storage Options] Suppress caching of > bulk ham.

The 1st 2 options are the full paths of where you would like to store your mail databases (including the database file name). A good place would be the directory where your bayescustomize.ini file is located. 3rd value, I use true. 4th value, I use false 5th value, I use 1000000 ># > > # 'None' is not a value valid for [Statistics Options] Ham cutoff > # 'None' is not a value valid for [Statistics Options] Spam cutoff > These should be located at the bottom of the main config page. I am currently using 0.6 for spam and 0.5 for ham. If you cannot see these options on the web config page, then I surmise that your installation is corrupt, and you will need to reinstall. You could also edit the bayescustomize.ini file manually. Below is my sanitized ini file, but note that some of these options are from the advanced and experimental config pages and are not require for a working spambayes.

Problem with SpamBayes Proxy: Cannot configure

I couldn’t find any other workable email address, though I think I checked all your pages. Your “Send Help Message” page does not provide an email address. Please forward if this is not the correct email address. “I am using SpamBayes Proxy Version 1.1b2 (March 6, 2010) (binary), with version 2.5.2 (release25-maint, Feb 23 2008, 14:19:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] of Python; my operating system is Windows 6.1.7601.2 (Service Pack 1). I have trained 0 ham and 0 spam.” I don’t know if the above is an example or is actually my information. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium and my email program is Windows Live Mail. This is my server information, none of which as far as I can see matches the instructions on configuring. But maybe I’m just dumb (certainly true on computers).
