[spambayes-dev] Python programming for outlook plugins & spambayes uninstall

[Leon Oosterwijk]

All, 

I'm new both to python and spambayes. So far I'm impressed with both.
I've got 2 questions:

1:
I installed spambayes from source. It created the plugin just fine.
However, there is now way to remove the plugin. Can anyone shed some
light on this. 

2:
I'm planning to write my own spam filter. This filter will also feature
a plugin to outlook. I'm rather new to programming plugins for outlook.
Does anyone have any good reading they can recommend? I found some
reading which talks about using VB6. it seems you need CDO and there are
tons of incompatibilities between the different versions of outlook. It
seems python would be a cleaner way to go. 

The spam filter I'm trying to write is a thesis project that will
feature server-side or centralized spam filtering and a mechanism for
users to report spam (for learning) by means of a network where their
credentials are authorized by trust metrics (see raph levien's work for
more details). 

Thank you .

Leon
