Here's my reply to your previous email.  I presume that this message won't
get to you either, since the last one apparently didn't, but I'll give it
one more try.  If you do get it, you might want to be more careful about
making accusations in the future.

received such an email, and it's not in the archives for the list, so it
doesn't appear to have made it through.  Did you get the auto-reply?

Which SpamBayes application are you using?  Sb_server? Sb_imapfilter? The
Outlook plug-in?  What mail client are you using?  Outlook Express, Eudora,
Thunderbird, Outlook?

Is the problem with checking (i.e. filtering/classifying) your mail, or with
training SpamBayes, or with both?  Your message says one, then the other.

What happens when you try to classify/train?  Do you get an error message?

Do your log files have any error messages in them?  The logs are in the
Windows temp directory (or, if you are not using Windows, are output to
stdout/stderr).  The Troubleshooting Guide explains where to find them.

The most likely explanation here is that your mail client is connecting
directly to your mail server and not through the proxy.  Check the mail
settings in your mail client.
