Spambayes is listed in Outlook as not a trusted source
by lynnpd1＠gmail.com May 21, 2013

May 21, 2013

I have spent the last two hours reading over your site to try and find out why Spambayes has stopped working in Outlook 2007. I have used it for years and love it, but today when I booted my computer, it no longer works in Outlook. First, I am on a Windows 7 PC using Outlook 2007. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but Windows refuses to recognize the program as trusted. When I go to the Trust Center/Add-ins to check that it is from a trusted source, I get the following message: "Load behavior: Not loaded. Certificate of signed and load at startup COM Add-Ins is not in trusted source list." I have tried to fix this as administrator, but can't seem to figure out where to tell Windows it's an OK program. I have reinstalled it several times and rebooted my computer. I'm at a loss and hope you can help. Thanks. Sincerely, Lynn Dougherty

assistance please

Hello and thank you for your time! I successfully loaded the free SpamBayes on my Windows 7, Outlook laptop. I am unable to complete this download for some reason, on my 2nd computer; a desktop. The desktop (2nd computer) is Windows XP, Outlook Express. I configured all, but it reports that it shows "none". Attached is a copy of the information I loaded into the program. Any assistance is appreciated. I just uninstalled Cloudmark after a month, as it was very unstable and only worked part time. I'm drowning in spam. I appreciate your assistance!

Problem with outlook
by Diane Burnette May 14, 2013

May 14, 2013

A new download has been installed on a Windows 7 machine using Outlook 2007 - accessing the network mail server through a VPN. When Outlook is launched, an error message appears saying Spambayes is not installed and suggests restarting Outlook. The Spambayes toolbar is displaying on Outlook, but does not operate. I tried reinstalling Spambayes. It still does not work. What do you suggest? Please reply to mckeehan(a)massweb.org.

sb_filter.py eats mail when used in postfix content_filter
by EMF May 2, 2013

May 2, 2013

OS: CentOS 6.4 x86_64 Postfix package: postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64 Spambayes package: spambayes-1.1-0.2.a6.el6.noarch All right, I've hit a brick wall with my integration of spambayes and postfix. I based my build combining Jonathan St. Andre's instructions at http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/server_side.html, with a few tweaks from the Postfix side in http://www.postfix.org/FILTER_README.html --- mostly because I'm going to extend the logic. I've successfully trained spambayes with about 12,000 each spam and ham, creating a database in /var/spambayes/filter.db. Running a captured message through sb_filter.py from the command line works flawlessly: ----------------------------------------- $ whoami filter $ cat /tmp/msg.7440 | /usr/bin/sb_filter.py -d /var/spambayes/filter.db -f Return-Path: <emf(a)amhran.net> Received: from amhran.net (3wg23q1.amhran.net [192.168.1.160]) by courier.amhran.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id CFF223E for <emf(a)amhran.net>; Wed, 24 Apr 2013 21:28:34 -0400 (EDT) From: "EMF" <emf(a)amhran.net> To: "EMF" <emf(a)amhran.net> Subject: Testing X-Spambayes-Classification: ham; 0.17 SB Test $ ----------------------------------------- Here are the lines from postfix's master.cf (which are very straightforward): ----------------------------------------- smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o content_filter=filter:dummy filter unix - n n - - pipe flags=Rq user=filter argv=/usr/local/bin/spamfilter.sh -f ${sender} -- ${recipient} ----------------------------------------- Spamfilter.sh sends the mail just fine if it consists of this: ----------------------------------------- cat > /tmp/msg.$$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -i $@ < /tmp/msg.$$ ----------------------------------------- but not if it contains this: ----------------------------------------- cat > /tmp/msg.$$ cat /tmp/msg.$$ | /usr/bin/sb_filter.py -d /var/spambayes/filter.db -f > /tmp/new.$$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -i $@ < /tmp/new.$$ ----------------------------------------- In the latter case --- msg.$$ contains the message, but new.$$ is a zero-length file, and thus what comes through on the far end is an empty message. Interestingly, I get this in syslog.log: ----------------------------------------- Apr 24 21:28:35 courier abrt: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/bin/sb_filter.py' Apr 24 21:28:35 courier abrt: can't communicate with ABRT daemon, is it running? [Errno 13] Permission denied ----------------------------------------- How can I capture the exception? What's being called by sb_filter.py at the command line that isn't available when run inside the content_filter?
