What's a message database, and where do I find it? OK, I presume spambayes.messageinfo.db is it.

Sorry, yes. I've also confirmed with Tim that this is the cause.

Okay, training worked, but: File "./spambayes/classifier.py", line 301, in probability assert hamcount <= nham AssertionError % What's the problem now?

Hmm - interesting. This is the same problem as Olly was having. This means that the ham/spam count in the spambayes database (hammie.db, probably) is incorrect. My message to him had the two solutions. It's pushing the realms of coincidence a little to say that this has nothing to do with imapfilter. I'll try and see what's causing the count to go wrong.

File "imapfilter.py", line 372, in __cmp__ return cmp(self.name, obj.name) AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'%

I should be able to find this easily enough. Odd that it's not always coming up.

File "./spambayes/classifier.py", line 408, in _remove_msg raise ValueError("spam count would go negative!") ValueError: spam count would go negative!

I suspect this is related to the first one. If I had to guess without looking at the code, I'd say that the untraining code is being activated when it shouldn't be. This would cause this one and the ham/spam count to be out.

And just when I thought maybe things were going right... =Tony Meyer
