[spambayes-dev] pop3proxy_service prob

> "Save Advanced Options" button, but got a 500 "Internal Server Error".

Did the 500 page have a traceback on it?

I think this is the case.  I tried it myself and I get this traceback
(on the 500 page):

"""

For the moment you could just change the option manually in the config
file before you start up.  As an actual fix, I suppose the friendliest
way to handle this would be to present a page that said "You have an
existing [pickle/dbm] database with x spam and x ham.  Would you like to
convert or delete this?" and takes the appropriate action given the
response.
