[Spambayes] Problem with Spambayes

[Dennis Coburn]

Tony,
It appears that the database corruption was the cause of the problem.  I
deleted everything in the database directory, restarted Outlook and it works
fine.  It is possible that I had two copies of Outlook running at the same
time, though not intentionally.  Otherwise it's a pretty standard
installation.  If it happens again I'll try to figure out what happened.

Thanks for your help,
Dennis
