[Spambayes] Mulitple SpamBayes installs on a network

[Ryan Malayter]

Yes, it can be done... Everything SpamBayes uses is stored by default in
the "Application Data" section of the user profile on each individual
machine. Stuff in the Application Data folder here gets copied to
servers with the rest of the user profile so it can follow the user
around the network.

If you use the SpamBayes INI file settings to move your DB to the
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data"
area of the user profile, you will get a different SpamBayes DB on each
machine, and you won't have to worry about them overwriting one another.
Files in this "Local Settings" section of the user profile do not roam
to the network like the rest of the user profile in a Windows domain.

Regards,

We use Exchange Server on our coporate network. As such, I can login on
multiple machines to my network instance via any number of machines on
our
network and administer my exact same mail/calender/etc. account. My
question
is, given this setup, can I install a copy of SpamBayes on a desktop
machine
which runs Outlook Client (and SpamBayes) 24/7, yet still run my laptop
(on
the LAN, or via VPN) with a seperate copy of SpamBayes (allowing me to
"train" emails that mis-filter) without messing up my original instance
of
SpamBayes on the desktop machine?

Thanks,
Dan
