Strangely enough, this problem seems to be caused by the browser! Switching from mozilla firebird to internet explorer appears to have resolved it. Going back to firebird will replicate the error, restart the sb_server and connect with explorer, everything works great! tested with: Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 -----Original Message----- From: spambayes-bounces@python.org [mailto:spambayes-bounces@python.org]On Behalf Of CAG Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 2:06 PM To: spambayes@python.org Subject: [Spambayes] sb_server.py takes over system when using web interface? Hello, I am (attempting) to run spambayes pop3proxy on a debian/GNU linux machine (~500mhz celeron). Python v2.3. After setting the BAYESCUSTOMIZE env variable and setting the .ini file to use a pickle for storage, I am able to successfully start spambayes by running the sb_server.py script and configure spambayes through the web interface. However, whenever I attempt to classify ham/spam through the web interface, the sb_server.py process jumps to ~99% cpu and will stay there, during which time no incoming or outgoing pop3/smtp connections are possible. Using the mail forward method of classifying ham/spam seems to work O.K. Any suggestions? I am totally new to python/spambayes and am kind of stuck here! Thanks. _______________________________________________ Spambayes@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
