Hi Morgan,

This is good ;-)

So if I understand correctly
On PC (pc_A) you do: /usr/bin/sb_server.py -D /var/spambayes/spam.pickle 
pop.mcode.co.za
On PC (pc_B) you do: http://localhost:8880/ ????
You should do: http://pc_A:8880/ since on pc_B localhost is the same as pc_B

You are on which pc when you do that ?
you should be on pc_A

Do you get any error before doing the ^C ?

P.S, My question are very basic but your message is not clear (at least 
to me ;-6  ) but from your setup you don't  look like
        a "debutant". (debian, lynx, unstable....)

P.S,S My home server run Debian (Woody) with the oython from the 
unstable and I'm able to run sb_mboxtrain and sb_filter but
I did not try the sb_serber.  you can also try to create the database 
with sb_mboxtrain just to test the database creation.
