[Spambayes] Unwanted stock solicitations

    Seth> Other issues: PIL is not there, 

Yes, that's a separate installer.  I believe this is mentioned in the
release notes.  Get it here:

    http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/

    Seth> and no x-image_size or x-crack_images in [tokenizer] section of
    Seth> ini file.

Can you try adding these lines to the [tokenizer] section of the ini file?

    x-lookup_ip: True
    lookup_ip_cache: dnscache.pck
    x-image_size: True
    x-crack_images: True
    max_image_size: 100000
    crack_image_cache: image_cache.pck

You'll also have to install PyDNS:

    http://pydns.sourceforge.net/

for the x-lookup_ip stuff to work.


    Seth> I installed Python2.4.4c1, installed PIL 1.1.5 for python 2.4,

Ocrad is a separate standalone program which isn't Python-specific.
Unfortunately, it only works with NetPBM files as input (that's what PIL
does for us), so it's probably a little challenging to run on a Windows
machine.  I uploaded a file here:

    http://orca.mojam.com/~skip/spam.pnm

if you can't easily create one yourself.

Running it like this

    ocrad -2 < spam.pnm

on my Mac gives me this gibberish on standard output:
