Spambayes load error - Bad Pickle Data??
All, A recent system crash managed to corrupt my thunderbird installation. Now nearly all recovered - just one problem left with Thunderbayes. Loading Thunderbird gives the following error: Acknowledging this allows me to go and load thunderbird OK, and Spambayes then works OK, but it still annoying. A copy of the file is attached. I've looked at the FAQ - nothing obvious caught my eye, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Thunderbird and Spambayes, but to no avail. Any help most welcome Currently running Thunderbird 2.8.8.6 Spambayes 1.0.1 Windows XP, patched up to date. With thanks Dave

I think you mean 2.0.0.6 for the T-Bird version. 1.0.1 is pretty darn ancient SpamBayes. I recommend you download at least 1.0.4. Better yet would be to give 1.1a4 a try. We can always use feedback on the latest alpha from Windows users. -- Skip Montanaro - skip@pobox.com - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/
I wonder if he meant ThunderBayes 1.0.1? At some point since the installation of this version of ThunderBayes, I have been having SpamBayes crash problems on our local network. Spambayes is Debian version 1.0.4-3. Clients are Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 with the aforementioned ThunderBayes 1.0.1. I have not been able to locate where SpamBayes errors are logged in Debian. Not being able to find them, if they even exist, I started over with a new dbm database. Shortly after the 1st users started their email this morning, SpamBayes started crashing. I am now more inclined to believe it is something with the clients, but don't know where to look for clues. The latest ThunderBayes has a default option of "Use internal SpamBayes proxy". Since I am using a server-based SpamBayes setup, could that be the source of the problem? Dale skip@pobox.com wrote:

In my case, it was the new option in the new version of ThunderBayes (1.0.x) causing all the problems. Once "Use internal SpamBayes proxy" was disabled on all Thunderbird clients, SpamBayes on the Debian server no longer crashed. It now works as wonderfully as it did previously. Dale Schroeder wrote:
