Is this just me, or do recent SpamBayes releases use a *lot* of memory? I mean over quarter of a *gigabyte*? I downloaded what was then the current alpha because I started to suffer from the dreaded "DBRunRecoveryError". I downloaded a binary installer for 1.1a3 and that suffered the same problem after a couple of mails got processed (I threw away the previous training database and gritted my teeth for a retrain). So I somehow ended up with a source install that identifies itself as "spambayes-1.1a1". I'm running the local service under Windows XP and as I write the pythonservice.exe associated with Spambayes is idling at around 167 MB (though the Application Data directory occupies less than 7 MB). I just heard my disk thrashing and presumed this was Spambayes processing a regular mail collection. Sure enough I saw the process go up to 319 MB, and it's now hovering at 200 MB again. I am assuming this is something to do with recent additions to OCR the recent flood of stock offer spam. I like the way the spam has disappeared, but I'm not sure I can stand this price. I only" have 1 GB of physical memory. Up until my Spambayes re-install this was enough! You may ask why I'm not running 1.1a3. Good question. When I install that using the binary installer and try to set my options for mail server and port number I see the following: 500 Server error Traceback (most recent call last): File "spambayes\Dibbler.pyc", line 476, in found_terminator File "spambayes\UserInterface.pyc", line 884, in onChangeopts File "spambayes\ProxyUI.pyc", line 782, in reReadOptions File "sb_server.pyc", line 1007, in _recreateState File "sb_server.pyc", line 1022, in prepare File "sb_server.pyc", line 822, in prepare File "sb_server.pyc", line 889, in createWorkers File "spambayes\Stats.pyc", line 60, in __init__ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_statistics_start_date' So that's a bit of a non-starter for me. I'd appreciate Cc'd replies about this if it's not too much trouble. I thought the list would have been full of this but I didn't see anything in the archive. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://holdenweb.blogspot.com Recent Ramblings http://del.icio.us/steve.holden
