[Spambayes] ... is Spambayes still supported?

[Achim Königs]

Hi,

there have not been releases since some time and if you have a look at 
the svn then you can see that there has not been any development at all 
for some years now:
https://sourceforge.net/p/spambayes/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/ (last changes 
2011).

I'm not sure if this is anything official, or not, but there are some 
github repositories where some development is taking place:
https://github.com/smontanaro/spambayes (2015) -> at least the username 
resembles the svn username on sourceforge a bit.
There are some forks, too, that see some code changes and discussion.
(Probably this can be seen as hint for a new release: 
https://github.com/smontanaro/spambayes/commit/71a53502184bbdaf4ce7308e28b883b8a3353e71 
)

I don't know anything about the outlook plugin, that seems to produce 
issues from time to time. But with the main part of spambayes being 
python software, it can run under any system that has a python 
interpreter. Also imap and pop3 are pretty old protocols and as long as 
they are used for mail transfer and the way mail is encoded, does not 
change, spambayes will still do its job even without any new releases.

Just my 2cents.
