I usually put the important stuff in the email, not in the subject. But
I digress...

Lucky you! I just happen to have set up 4 blackberries in the last two
weeks, and I'm starting to know the little buggers.

You give little or no information, so I guess this is your situation:

* You use "Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0", aka Outlook 2007, as your
regular mail client.
* You use Spambayes as an Oulook plugin.
* You have a BlackBerry, which gets its mail from a BlackBerry server.

This Blackberry server is either a Microsoft Exchange server with the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server add-on, or some BlackBerry Internet Service.

In both cases, your email "lives" on a server. To fight spam on a
server, you need a server-side antispam solution, like SpamAssassin or
GFI or others. These products filter spam *before* they enter your
mailbox on the server.

Spambayes is *not* a server-side antispam solution. It is a client-side
antispam solution. Spambayes filters spam *after* they hit your mailbox
on the server, but *before* they enter your actual mailclient (in the
case of the POP or IMAP proxy), or at the exact moment it enters your
mailclient (in the case of the Outlook plugin).

The Blackberry operating system and the Blackberry mail client is
entirely different from Outlook on Windows. Spambayes can not and will
not work that way.

The BlackBerry OS is a proprietary OS made by Research In Motion. It has
some API's for developers, but any application that makes use of certain
restricted functionality must be digitally signed so that it can be
associated to a developer account at RIM. I'm not sure if Python or
SpamBayes are digitally signed by RIM, I seriously doubt it.





Short answer: no, it won't work that way.
