Help with SpamBayes
by Matej Gorenšek July 30, 2013

Hi, I'm Matej and I'm writing a degree about Bayesian spam filtering methods. I would like to use your spam program for research but I have little problem. I need to find out, which classsification tehnique SpamBayes use, but I didn't find any notes about that. In literature (http://digital.cs.usu.edu/~erbacher/publications/Bayes-Vikas2.pdf), I have found 4 significant tehniques that most of spam filters use: - all tokens filter: Use of all tokens from a new email for classification. - fixed number of tokens filter: Use of a fixed number of tokens for classification. These tokens are assumed to be the most effective in the given e-mail. - standard deviation threshold filter: This tehnique emphasizes the spam probability of tokens rather than the number of tokens. - relative number of tokens filter: Use of relative number of tokens for classification; for example 30%. Can you please tell me which tehnique SpamBayes use or is the closest to the tehnique that SpamBayes use, so that I will know how to start my research? And if it's impossible to somehow switch between these four tehniques. Thank you for your help! Yours sincerely, Matej

(Please leave spambayes(a)python.org on your replies. I have been on vacation and only just noticed your reply. Other people on the spambayes mailing list are more well-versed in the various Windows/Outlook variants than I am, and can likely give you better answers than me anyway.)

People have reported problems specifically with Outlook 64-bit. I am not a Windows person, but I think Outlook 32-bit might work on 64-bit Windows. Skip

SpamBayes not working in OL2013 on Win7
by Dinesh Maneyapanda July 26, 2013

Hi, long time user here. Just upgraded laptops, and now have Outlook 2013. I installed SpamBayes, and the config seemed to go fine, and it rates new email fine as it comes in. But the SpamBayes toolbars get pushed off onto their own ribbon tab, and more importantly, clicking the "spam" and "not spam" buttons don't seem to do anything anymore, alas. Thanks! Dinesh
