Summary: SpamBayes leaves duplicate messages

Initial Comment:
I am subscribed to a number of different mailing lists, 

and I have a number of Outlook rules (set up via Rules 

Wizard) to route the different mailing lists into different 

folders.

When the rules are of the form:

Apply this rule after the message arrives

with <words> in the subject

move it to the <specified> folder

and a matching message comes in, SpamBayes 

seems to leave multiple copies of that message in the 

inbox.

This is very frustrating.

If the rule is of the form:

Apply this rule after the message arrives

sent to <email address>

move it to the <specified> folder

and a matching message comes in, duplicate 

messages do not occur.

So it seems to be some sort of odd interaction with 

Outlook Rules.

I'm running Outlook 2002 SP 2 on Windows XP SP 1a 

(with current hotfixes).

No word from the user, and I'm fairly certain the timer will

fix this anyway

I would be very interested to know if version 006 works with

save_spam_info = True - it very well might.  It would be

great if you could let me know.

I installed both versions 4 and 5 of the binary, and set the 

save_spam_info to False.  So far, it seems to have fixed the 

problem, although I'd like to give it a full day of email to verify 

(because it doesn't always happen).  

However:  for some reason, the SpamBayes configuration 

dialog doesn't pop up when I click the spambayes button.  

This happens on Outlook XP on Windows XP.  

I'll put a new bug in on this; just thought you should know.

I have released version 4 of the binary.  There is a new

option save_spam_info. as documented in the 'configuration'

guide.  If you set this option to False, SpamBayes will no

longer attempt to save anything back into the message. 

Please try this new version with this option set to False,

and see if the behavior of this bug changes.

I just checked in a new option that can be set -

filter.save_spam_info - see the configuration documentation

for more details.

If this option is set to False, then spambayes will not

attempt to save the spam score or other information as it

filters.  You may like to try this option when you can, to

see if it has any effect on this bug.  You can try it

immediately if you use CVS, or as soon as the next release

is made.

No, installing 003 over the top of 002 should work fine.

I don't have any more answers, sorry, but no doubt Mark will 

look into this when he gets a chance.  Stay tuned!

Anadelon:  Outlook junk mail rules are turned off; spam is 

Moved to Junk Mail.

I just ran the release 003 of the plugin, and I'm still seeing 

the problem.

(I didn't bother uninstalling release 002 - is that a problem?)

It appears the problem lies between the keyboard and 

chair. :)  I seem to have overlooked the option to move 

messages instead of copying.

In addition, the log file seems to indicate that you are using 

release 002 of the plugin.  If you haven't already, could you 

try release 003 and let us know if the problem still occurs?

Thanks.

Eric, do you have the Outlook junk mail rules turned on?  If 

you do, would both of you be able to try turning them off 

(they aren't all that much use if you are using spambayes 

anyway), and seeing if this resolves the problem?

In addition, forgive me if you've checked this, but in the 

spambayes filter setup, do you have "move" selected rather 

than "copy"?

(It's an odd problem that IIRC we have heard before, but I'm 

using the same version of Windows and Outlook, and have 

rules of that form, and don't notice this problem).

I am also having this problem.  I have not tested it with 

various rule types, but I believe it is occurring in conjunction 

with the Outlook "Junk E-mail" feature.
