Anyone? I run from CVS, so have no idea what the binary installer sets up here (assuming the poster used a binary installer, which seems too likely to question <wink>). This one is nearly a FAQ lately!
Agreed, and done: <http://spambayes.org/faq.html#how-do-i-uninstall-the-plug-in> (As always, someone correct me if I've made any mistakes in there! I run from CVS, too, although I've tested the binary on occasions.) =Tony Meyer ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2003 22:27:22 -0500 From: sysadmin@scr.siemens.com Subject: [Spambayes] Blocked Mail Notification To: spambayes@python.org Message-ID: <200312030327.hB33RR308693@scr.siemens.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" ************* eManager Notification ************** Recipient, Content filter has detected a sensitive e-mail.

Seriously, this is a good example of why a bouncing filter is a BAD idea... there's not much we can do about it. Seimens' filter is classifying some of the mail on this list as spam (imagine that) and doing the infamous and much debated (on this list) bounce operation. Someone on this list works at Seimens, and that person will either have to unsubscribe, or tell their email admin type people to fix their filter... -- Vous exprimer; Exprésese; Te stesso esprimere; Express yourself!

Well, I can understand that some of the mail on this list gets classified as spam by a spam-only-filter (e.g. no ham checking). Some messages are classified as 'unsure' here, because a ham message has a spam message attached. And I don't want to train it as ham, because the message is half ham, half spam. How do others solve this problem? BTW, Spambayes is very correct in recognizing it as both spam and ham :) yours, Gerrit. -- 21.

This isn't a moderated list. Proof: if it were, I would have blocked you from bothering everyone with 80KB of quoted digest email just to ask a one-sentence question <wink>. (BTW, I asked siemens to stop that silliness, but they didn't reply; then again, I haven't seen another one of those from them since I asked.)

Oops! I have now. I set the list to bounce the siemens bounces back to siemens. I expect the entire Internet to collapse as a result, and then we won't be bothered by any spam any more.
Yikes! You got me on that 80 KB! I was half asleep and sick with a cold when I fired off that question last night. ;-p -----Original Message----- From: Tim Peters [mailto:tim.one@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 11:14 PM To: David Matos Cc: spambayes@python.org Subject: RE: [Spambayes] Please Kill the "Blocked Mail Notification" [David Matos]
