I'm trying out sb on a linux redhat 9.0 machine using evolution. The web based configuration doesn't work, so I created this for the .ini file: [pop3proxy] servers:mailhost.mydomain.com <---- this is a real domain ports:120 persistent_storage_file:/opt/spam/spambayes/data/hammie.db add_mailid_to:header include_prob:True [smtpproxy] servers:mail.optonline.net ports:220 ham_address:ham@spam spam_address:spam@spam In evolution, the mail server is set to localhost:120. The smtp server is set to localhost:220 I start up pop3proxy: pop3proxy.py Loading database... Done. SMTP Listener on port 220 is proxying mail.optonline.net:25 Listener on port 120 is proxying mailhost.mydomain.com:110 User interface url is http://localhost:8880/ When evol gets the mail, it says getting pop summary, then hangs waiting for the first message. at the terminal window where I ran pop3proxy I get: error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <__main__.ServerLineReader connected at 0x8353a4c> (exceptions.TypeError:len() of unsized object [/usr/lib/python2.2/asyncore.py|poll|99] [/usr/lib/python2.2/asyncore.py|handle_read_event|396] [/usr/lib/python2.2/asynchat.py|handle_read|130] [/usr/bin/pop3proxy.py|found_terminator|147] [/usr/bin/pop3proxy.py|onServerLine|215] [/usr/bin/pop3proxy.py|onResponse|289] [/usr/bin/pop3proxy.py|onTransaction|390] [/usr/bin/pop3proxy.py|onRetr|459] [/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/message.py|as_string|193] [/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/email/Message.py|as_string|109] [/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/email/Generator.py|flatten|102] [/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/email/Generator.py|_write|137] [/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/email/Generator.py|_write_headers|183] [/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/email/Header.py|encode|412] [/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/email/Header.py|_split|297] [/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/email/Charset.py|encoded_header_len|341]) Is this a bug - or did I misconfigure spambayes/ Second: I tried to "train" sb by sending spam to spam@spam. This seemed to go OK, but when I go to the web page the "Review Messages" shows no untrained messages. How do these training messages show up? thanks for any help sean _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
