For the new people on the list: SpamAtBay is a soon to be available
commercial version of the Spambayes addin for Outlook. Any reader of this
list
who would like to beta test for us is welcome to a permanent license -- and
anyone who is a SpamBayes developer can have the license without anything
other
just asking. In either case, just email me.

Brief history: I wrote the first, really, really bad integration with
Outlook,
using VBA and a Python COM server. Mark Hammond thought the idea was neat,
but that the execution was, err, flawed, and pretty much rewrote it from
scratch.
Over the last few weeks, I've had a team of several people working on
polishing,
layout, docs, QA, and (gag) marketing oriented features. We're going to
release
a supported version sometime soon.

We're focusing on Tim's "easy enough for my sister" metric.

Supported systems: Win98SE, ME, NT 4, Win2K, XP; Outlook 2000/2002/XP
Not supported: Win95; Outlook Express

Change list for Beta Candidate 7:

1) Fixed installer bug on Win98
2) Add version and timestamps to log and "Contact Support"
3) More useful progress bars for learning and quarantining

16) Save config at end of setup wizard
