Summary: spam score shows as 0% even though message is moved as spam

Initial Comment:


With plug-in 007 and now 008, some spam messages get 

automatically filtered into my spam folder, but their 

spam scores are not saved correctly with the message. 

These messages show a score of 0% in the Outlook 

column view, even though they had to be scored above 

90% to be automatically moved by SpamBayes into my 

spam folder. 



See this graphic to see what I'm talking about. The 

highlighted meessage was automatically put into my 

spam folder, and when I run a manual "show spam clues" 

on the message, it shows up with a .987 score. But it 

still says 0% in outlook:

So really, this isn't a functionality bug, just a display 

bug, since the message is moved into the spam folder 

correctly. Although the incorrect score might cause 

problems if SpamBayes ever re-filters without re-

scoring. 



This bug seems to happen intermittently and randomly; I 

can discern no pattern.



I am running Outlook 2002 SP2 with all recent security 

fixes, on Windows XP SP1 with all recent security fixes. 

The mail server is Exchange 2000 SP3.



Let me know if you need more information,



Ryan

I think there's acutally two different things going on here: 

The problem with the first message scoring incorrectly as 0% 

and NOT being moved, and also a problem with messages 

that ARE spam and ARE moved to my spam folder, but still 

have 0% saved in the Outlook spam field.



The first issue seems to happen whenever a spam message is 

listed first in my inbox view when I start outlook. It is 

repeatable.



THe second issue seems totally random, but is very 

infrequent (perhaps 1 out of 100 spams get captured 

correctly but still show 0% as their score).

A little further information: this seems to happen only to me 

when the FIRST message in my inbox is spam. The plug-in 

saves a 0% score in the spam field, and the messages is not 

filtered. However, if I manually run spam clues on it, it always 

scores above 90%.



I have a 10-second processing delay set at start, and my 

mail server is Exchagne 2003 SP3. I connect through native 

Exchagne RPC, not through IMAP or POP3 or anything.

I am encountering a similar problem, with a slight difference:

About 10% of the messages in the SPAM folder show 0% in 

the Outlook list view.  However, when the SPAM clues are 

displayed they appear to be scorded correctly...all in the .9+ 

range.



The difference from this reported problem:

About 20% of the SPAM messages are left in my Inbox with a 

0% score in the Outlook list view.  Again, these appear to be 

scored correctly (.9+ score) when the SPAM clues are 

examined.



I have never encountered this problem with Possible Spam.



This problem seems (so far) to occur with messages that are 

very high scoring (.9+) and has occured on plug-in 0.7, 0.8 

and 0.81.



I am running XP Pro SP1 with all current critical updates, 

Office 2000 SP3, and Exchange 5.5 SP4



I currently have specified a 4.0 second delay before starting 

processing and a 1.0 second delay between processing items.
