Karyn,

I do not use Outlook, so my answer is anecdotal and learned from following
this mail list.

Most new Windows systems are 64-bit, not 32-bit.  The SpamBayes Outlook
plugin is said to work on 64-bit systems if two conditions are met - (1)
SpamBayes is installed somewhere other than the default.  It has been
recommended to use C:\SpamBayes.  (2) You must be running a 32-bit version
of Outlook for the plugin to work.  If neither of these are the cause of
your problem, then maybe someone else will chime in.

SpamBayes is free software, so you will not have an invoice.  It is also a
community project, so there is no one to call.  All support is done through
the mail list.

Good luck.

Dale

[Spambayes] Problem configuring SpamBayes IMAP Filter on Windows

[Phil Gardner]

I am using SpamBayes IMAP Filter Version 1.1b2 (March 6, 2010) (binary),
with version 2.5.2 (release25-maint, Feb 23 2008, 14:19:11) [MSC v.1310 32
bit (Intel)] of Python; my operating system is Windows 6.1.7601.2 (Service
Pack 1).  I have trained 0 ham and 0 spam.

The problem I am having is: on the web configuration page, when I click on
either of the links "configure folders to filter" or "configure filters to
train" I simply get the message "No folders available". I have checked
(using Telnet) that my IMAP server login information is correct. I don't
know how to troubleshoot this. I haven't found any log files.

Best wishes,
Phil Gardner

[Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes Proxy: Cannot configure

[A. J.]

I couldn’t find any other workable email address, though I think I checked all 
your pages.  Your “Send Help Message” page does not provide an email address.  
Please forward if this is not the correct email address.

“I am using SpamBayes Proxy Version 1.1b2 (March 6, 2010) (binary), with 
version 2.5.2 (release25-maint, Feb 23 2008, 14:19:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit 
(Intel)] of Python; my operating system is Windows 6.1.7601.2 (Service Pack 1). 
 I have trained 0 ham and 0 spam.”

I don’t know if the above is an example or is actually my information.  My 
operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium and my email program is Windows Live 
Mail.

This is my server information, none of which as far as I can see matches the 
instructions on configuring.  But maybe I’m just dumb (certainly true on 
computers).

Server information:
Incoming mail server is POP3 server.
Incoming mail (POP3):  inbound.att.net
Outgoing mail (SMTP):  outbound.att.net

Port number:
Incoming mail (POP3):  995

_

On the Configuration Page 
for Remote Servers, I have used “pop3.inbound.att.net:995”, “inbound.att.net”, 
“localhost”, possibly others.
for SpamBayes Ports, I have used 995, 110, 8110, 8880

On any of these combinations, when I click on Save, this is what I see on 
http://localhost:8880/home:

The website cannot display the page  HTTP 500 




When I click on Review Messages from the icon, below is what I see on 
http://localhost:8880/home:

No POP3 proxies running.

There are no untrained messages to display.  [And I have been receiving 
emails.-ajp]

__

I have read the FAQs, the help page, and the readme page, but cannot comprehend 
them, I suppose.

What do I do next?

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes Proxy: Cannot configure

[Dale Schroeder]

A.J.,

Based on what you have provided, it appears that the following values 
should be used in the web config page:


Remote Servers: *inbound.att.net:995* (att uses yahoo mail servers)
SpamBayes Ports: *8110* (although this could be any unused port)

Then, you would configure Windows Live Mail's pop3 server setting to use 
localhost (or 127.0.0.1) for the server on port 8110 (or the port you 
chose above).  Create filters to sort the mail classified by spambayes.  
Security/Encryption settings (ssl, tls, etc.) would remain as you 
currently have them.


Additionally, everything I have read on this list suggests that on 
Windows 7, spambayes should _not_ be installed in Program Files.  Many 
suggest C:\spambayes instead.


HTH,
Dale

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes Proxy: Cannot configure

[Dale Schroeder]

The failure would be because SpamBayes is not functioning.  Until it is, 
you will need to revert the Windows Mail config as it was before.  Once 
you get spambayes working, then make the client changes.
My spambayes server is on a remote host, so an outbound firewall rule 
for tcp port 8880 was required; however, I have assumed you are running 
spambayes on the same system as Windows Live, so that should not be an 
issue.
I'll do my best to guide you in the error messages you've listed below.  
Truthfully, it looks like some of the defaults were not set during the 
install; or perhaps, a default bayescustomize.ini file was not created 
for you.

Dale,
I really appreciate your prompt response.
I made the changes you suggested (yellow highlight below).
But when I click on Save, I still see this message on 
http://localhost:8880/home:

The website cannot display the page  HTTP 500
When I click on “Refresh the page”, this is what I get:
*Errors Detected*

# 'None' is not a value valid for [SMTP Proxy Options] Lookup message in 
cache. Valid values are: False,True


These options should be on the main config page.  The section in 
brackets identifies the configuration section on the web page and is 
located immediately below the pop3 proxy options.
The 1st two can be blank, but the word none is not allowed.  The third 
has only 2 options, as indicated in the error message.  I believe the 
default is false.

#

# 'None' is not a value valid for [Storage Options] Suppress caching of 
bulk ham. Valid values are: False,True
# 'None' is not a value valid for [Storage Options] Maximum size of

Storage Options is the 2nd to last section on the main config page.
The 1st 2 options are the full paths of where you would like to store 
your mail databases (including the database file name). A good place 
would be the directory where your bayescustomize.ini file is located.

3rd value, I use true.
4th value, I use false
5th value, I use 100

#

# 'None' is not a value valid for [Statistics Options] Ham cutoff
# 'None' is not a value valid for [Statistics Options] Spam cutoff

These should be located at the bottom of the main config page.  I am 
currently using 0.6 for spam and 0.5 for ham.
If you cannot see these options on the web config page, then I surmise 
that your installation is corrupt, and you will need to reinstall.


You could also edit the bayescustomize.ini file manually.  Below is my 
sanitized ini file, but note that some of these options are from the 
advanced and experimental config pages and are not require for a working 
spambayes.

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes 1.1.a6

[Bill Holland]

Hello, 

I have been running SpamBays for many years and love the product. 

A problem has developed in the last week where I load Outlook 2010, SpamBays
works for a while and then quits working. 

There is no error message it simply stops filtering and the spam button does
nothing. 

I have tried un-installing the product and re-installing with no luck, I
have also tried installing to the C:\SpamBayes direction 

And nothing seems to help. 

What should I do to try and get it operational again?

Thanks, 

Bill

[Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes Proxy: Mild

[Peter Liepmann]

SpamBayes Proxy was leaving all the messages on my ISP POP3  server, 
so I was getting messages that I was at 70%, 80% of capacity, yada yada.


I made a new TB profile that directly DL'd the mail from the server 
and deleted all messages older than  one month  from the server, but 
perhaps there could be a SpamBayes setting that does this.

Or maybe there already is, and I'm just too dim to find it?

I am using SpamBayes Proxy Version 1.1b2 (March 6, 2010) (binary), 
with version 2.5.2 (release25-maint, Feb 23 2008, 14:19:11) [MSC 
v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] of Python; my operating system is Windows 
5.1.2600.2 (Service Pack 3), and Thunderbird 10.0.2.  I have trained 
712 ham and 459 spam.  THAT part works great.
I installed it back in the distant past when the TB addon didn't 
always install reliably.

Thanks for a great tool.

Hi Peter,

 SpamBayes Proxy was leaving all the messages on my ISP POP3 server [...]

The proxy will neither delete email nor leave it there - all it does
is pass through commands from your email client, injecting spam
headers when it sees an email message.  If your email client was setup
to delete emails from the server, then the proxy shouldn't change
that.

(Of course that assumes there isn't a bug there that prevents DELE
commands from getting through, but I'm not aware of this problem ever
coming up before.)

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes Proxy: Mild

[Dale Schroeder]

Peter,

SpamBayes doesn't do anything like that.  It only categorizes email 
based on the training you give it.  It places that categorization in 
either a header or on the subject line of the mail, depending upon how 
you have it configured.  As it does not have these capabilities, your 
problem has to derive from the mail client or something else.


In Thunderbird, check under Tools == Account Settings == Server Settings.
Look for Leave messages on server.  If the box is checked, uncheck it, 
and you should no longer have a backlog at the ISP.


If it is already unchecked, you will have to look for something else 
that may be causing the problem.


Dale

I have TB set to Leave messages on server...(new box) for at most 
_7 _days.
Perhaps this is the issue- SB can pass through Leave messages on 
server or not (DELE command ), but can't pass through the 7 days part?

 You use Outlook Express. You do not have a task bar.

 Actually, he doesn't have spambayes in an Outlook *toolbar*, but possibly

I don't see any clues in your log file (all lines look normal).  I think
you'll have to provide more data before anybody can speculate about a cause
for the server error.

I switched to Outlook 2007 a few weeks ago and am running SpamBayes with
no problem. So it appears SpamBayes is compatible with Outlook 2007. Not

I had a similar problem with a different plug in, and that software

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes

[Joel Rosenthal]

I think SpamBayes works inconsistently with Outlook 2007. It worked
perfectly for me when I upgraded from Outlook 2003, and when I had to
reinstall my system on a new hard drive it worked perfectly there. But then
I had to reinstall the system again, and it hasn't worked since. I had the
problem with Outlook crashing, but most of the time I could use the Spam and
Not Spam buttons, but no matter what I did, SpamBayes simply would do no
filtering on its own. I disabled and reenabled filtering. I trained it
manually and on the fly. I uninstalled and reinstalled. It kept track of the
training I was doing, but when it came to automatic filtering, it just sat
there. For months, actually. I asked the list for help several times but
didn't receive a single response. So I finally gave up, which was a shame,
because when it worked, it was the best spam-defeating system I'd
encountered, certainly better than the badly designed Outlook Junk E-mail
Filter I'm using now.

Re: [Spambayes] problem with spambayes

[Karen Lu]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your reply.  I uninstalled the previous version through the
control panel and made sure to download the installer version (.exe)
this time.  It still doesn't work.  

The problem I think is that Spambayes was never correctly installed in
the first place.  When it was first installed, the spambayes tool bar
appeared in outlook along with the junk mail and junk suspects folders
but there was no automatic automatically filtering of emails as usually
happens.  The buttons on the spambayes toolbar, while they appear in
Outlook, are not activated.  The 'Delete as spam' button is disabled and
the Spambayes drop-down list does not appear.

I've tried to uninstall and reinstall spambayes several times but with
no success.  It seems that the original add-in (that doesn't work
properly) is now 'stuck' in Outlook-it does not uninstall when I
uninstall the spambayes program from the computer.

Does this make any sense?

Thanks,
Karen

Re: [Spambayes] problem with spambayes

Karen, I suggest that you look in Outlook for a junk mail folder that was
created by Outlook instead of Spambayes. If you find one, delete it. Then
when you click Delete as Spam (mine says simply Spam, the deletion
should work. But also, if your experience is like mine, SpamBayes won't do
anything on its own. But you'll be one step ahead of where you were before.

[Spambayes] problem with spambayes 1.0.4

[Michael Khor]

Hi There

I am trying to get spambayes working for Outlook Express 6.

I performed the installation  once using the OE option and not the Outlook 
Addin option.
Every appeared to install fine and the sb tray icon appeared
I configured the server, but it didn't work..i know I didn't set it correctly 
as i missed a few fields.

Anyway, so i stopped the server and exited

After that, i could no longer start the sb-tray icon

AFter much mucking around, I removed and reinstalled spambayes, however no 
matter what I try, i still cannot get the tray icon to appear.  I have done the 
uninsall and manually removed reg entries with no luck

I have even tried manually creating the sb_service service using the -install 
option and that doesn't work.  I get the following error.

C:\Program Files\SpamBayes\binsb_service.exe -install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File boot_service.py, line 12, in ?

  File sb_server.pyc, line 695, in init

ValueError: invalid literal for int(): mail.optusnet.com.au

Spambayes does not come up as a service under Admin tools either 

any ideas ?

[Spambayes] Problem configuring Spambayes with Outlook 2003

[Stephen Billard]

I recently upgraded from Outlook XP to Outlook 2003. I have done this on
three computers. On one, I have run into a problem with SpamBayes.

On this computer, I cannot get SpamBayes to stick. That is, the SpamBayes
toolbar option is not present in the customize for the toolbars. When I go
to tools/options-Other/advanced-Com Addins, SpamBayes it there unchecked. I
can check it, but when I exit the dialog and return, it is unchecked.

Any thoughts? I've uninstalled and reinstalled both SpamBayes and Outlook to
no avail.

 Hell Tony, I don't want to annoy the sh*t out of you - I know

I'm hoping for something between pestering and annoying wink.  It  
does give me an idea of how much demand there is for it, and keeps it  
at the end of my inbox where it's most likely to be noticed...

I do hope that a 1.1a3, 1.1b1, and 1.1 final will follow without too  
much delay.  I have a bit more time coming up (for a while at least),  
and some more time to work on SpamBayes, so it seems likely.

 ... held up 1.1a2 by a year or so.  However, it is
 now actually on its way (see previous message).

 I'm excited!!! Is this a long process?

Not normally.  This time is slightly more complicated, mostly as a  
result of not having done one for so long.  Really the only thing  
holding it up is that the binary (the Outlook plug-in part of it)  
needs to be build with Outlook 2000 (not 2002 or 2003), otherwise it  
won't work for Outlook 2000 users.  But I no longer have access to an  
Outlook 2000 install...so I put out a call (on spambayes-dev) today  
asking for help with this - I expect something will turn up in a day  
or two.

 Also, how do you normally announce when a new version has been
 made available for download? I need it as soon as it hits the
 shelves.

An announcement is mailed to spambayes@python.org, spambayes- 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], sourceforge sends  
an email to anyone monitoring the spambayes package, and I update  
the website.

It's there in some closed bug (it's been fixed in CVS for ages).   
Basically the messageinfo db was being reopened for every message,  
which really screwed things up.

I'm in the process of doing a 1.1a2.  Things aren't perfect  
(especially imapfilter), but, hey, it's an alpha, and it's better  
than 1.1a1.  If you look in the right place, you can already find the  
source distributions online (I need to get hold of my gpg key for

No!  The POP3 proxy (what you use for Outlook Express 


SpamBayes)
  

does not work with 1.1a1.  Stick with 1.0.4, which definitely
does work.




But doesn't this just bring us back to the problem with 1.0.4
that any TO addresses with spam in the domain name (and I have
one) will be classified as spam regardless? We've already
discussed the related problems with 1.0.4 as far as the
ubiquitous Outlook Express is concerned.

1.0.4 has an insurmountable problem in that respect; 1.1a1 has
(in your words) a serious pop3proxy bug (you didn't say what)
and, believe me Tony, it is quite inconceivable that any average
user is even going to attempt the CVS route.

So where to?

The reason I started writing simplified instructions for
SpamBayes was because I was recommending it to all and sundry and
then getting a flood of what the bloody hell does this mean
with regard to comments and instructions throughout
SpamBayes.org.

I have a complete end-user-friendly coverage of spam management
in general and SpamBayes in particular ready to go, except for
the fact I cannot find a satisfactory solution to the
non-Outlook-for-average-users scenario. Average users will not
install Python, pywin32, a CVS client and checkout the SpamBayes
source. It is beyond them.

I'm trying to contribute to the cause, but I seem to have hit a
brick wall with the case of other-than-Outlook clients.

Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious, in which case I'll
be delighted to accept an ass-whoppin' in return for the
solution.

---
Bill H. OK, I've picked up on Tony's suggestion and installed
proxy version 1.1a1 for Outlook Express.

Tony M.I hope you meant the version in CVS (it should report
itself as 1.1a1 + IIRC). 1.1a1 has a serious pop3proxy bug.
---

On that note I experimented with it no further.

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes POP3 Proxy: [PROBLEM SUMMARY]

[Bill Hely]

TONY MEYER SAID:
  Uninstalled  SB 1.0.4 which I could not get to work.
Installed
  1.1a1 per your FAQ 4.21 setup for Outlook Express.

 No!  The POP3 proxy (what you use for Outlook Express 
SpamBayes)
 does not work with 1.1a1.  Stick with 1.0.4, which definitely
 does work.


But doesn't this just bring us back to the problem with 1.0.4
that any TO addresses with spam in the domain name (and I have
one) will be classified as spam regardless? We've already
discussed the related problems with 1.0.4 as far as the
ubiquitous Outlook Express is concerned.

1.0.4 has an insurmountable problem in that respect; 1.1a1 has
(in your words) a serious pop3proxy bug (you didn't say what)
and, believe me Tony, it is quite inconceivable that any average
user is even going to attempt the CVS route.

So where to?

The reason I started writing simplified instructions for
SpamBayes was because I was recommending it to all and sundry and
then getting a flood of what the bloody hell does this mean
with regard to comments and instructions throughout
SpamBayes.org.

I have a complete end-user-friendly coverage of spam management
in general and SpamBayes in particular ready to go, except for
the fact I cannot find a satisfactory solution to the
non-Outlook-for-average-users scenario. Average users will not
install Python, pywin32, a CVS client and checkout the SpamBayes
source. It is beyond them.

I'm trying to contribute to the cause, but I seem to have hit a
brick wall with the case of other-than-Outlook clients.

Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious, in which case I'll
be delighted to accept an ass-whoppin' in return for the
solution.

[Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes POP3 Proxy: [PROBLEM SUMMARY]

[Robert G. Marolf]

I am using SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Version 1.1a1 (April 2005) (binary), with 
version 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] of Python; 
my operating system is Windows 4.90.73010104.1 ( ). I previously trained 2 
ham and 1 spam (WRONG It was 1 ham and 2 spam)in version 1.0.4 which I could not 
get to work and uninstalled in favor of 1.1a1.

The problem I am having is [DESCRIBE YOUR PROBLEM HERE] Install 
Problems. Uninstalled SB 1.0.4 which I could not get to work. 
Installed 1.1a1 per your FAQ 4.21 setup for Outlook Express. Classified 5 
or 6 emails as Spam or Ham. Now find that I have no Unreviewed messages 
listed. Browsers in Train and in Classify only take me to my Download 
files, not my emails. Status  Configuration block still show 3 emails 
previously classified inaccurately in SB 1.0.4 version and none of the 
subsequent emails I classified with 1.1a1 version. I'm missing 
something. Appreciate your help. Thanks. Bob

 [...]
   File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/spambayes/classifier.py,  
 line 311, in probability

This means that the database is corrupted (there is a token that has  
been seen in more spam than you have trained).  The best thing to do  
is to retrain from scratch.

This shouldn't occur - you should check that procmail is accessing  
spambayes correctly; I don't really know much about that, but there  
are examples in the distribution and on the website, that you could  
look at.

 The problem I am having is: I cannot figure out how to get

You need to change your mail client to connect to localhost (no quotes)
instead of your POP3 server.  If you're using Outlook Express, see FAQ 4.21:

http://spambayes.org/faq.html#how-do-i-set-up-spambayes-and-outlook-express


If you're not using Outlook Express and need help figuring out how to do

Re: [Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes POP3 Proxy: [PROBLEM SUMMARY]

[Tony Meyer]

 Ok, everything was working just fine until I got home 
 yesterday and the [Pop-server.houston.rr.com] account just
 stopped working in spambayes.  It would no]download my email. 
 I changed the Outlook Express server property from [localhost]
 to Pop-server.houston.rr.com and it worked just fine.  But 
 if I change back to [localhost] it won't work.

Please get hold of your most recent log file and send us a copy of this; it
should have the information we need to figure out what is wrong.  The log
files are in your temp directory; in WinXP this is probably 'C:\Documents
and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp' and the files are called
SpambayesServerX.log, where X is a number from 1 (most recent) to 4.

The troubleshooting guide has more detailed information about finding the
logs.

Perhaps it's not always referring to the same database?  Is $HOME the same

the same user?).  Maybe you need to be specifying the database in the two

RE: [Spambayes] Problem with Spambayes IMAP and Microsoft Exchange...

[Tony Meyer]

 I've been using SB for a while with a Mirapoint IMAP server 
 and it works just fine. I made minor tweaks to the sb_imapfilter.py
 script to have a Ham folder in addition to the Spam and Unsure
 folders,

Your patch for this is in 1.1a1, BTW.

 to only train if login is successful, and to keep trying to log in at the 
 defined interval, when a login fails (in case there are 
 transient issues with accessing the server).

I believe 1.1a1 ought to do this as well.

 However, I'm trying to switch to Microsoft Exchange server using IMAP 
 and I'm having problems. I changed the ini file to point to the new 
 server name, I have the folders set up on the server, but, when I run 
 imapfilter.py, I see the following message (after the 
 password is obtained):
[...]
 Invalid response to select Inbox.Bayesian.MarkAsHam:
 ('NO', ['The requested item could not be found.'])

It sounds like you left the folder names in the ini file the same and just
created matching folders on the new server - is that right?  If so, the
problem might be that the Exchange server uses a different delimiter than
the '.' that it appears the Mirapoint server uses.

If you open up the web interface and look at the folder list (for training
or filtering), do the folder names appear like Inbox.Bayesian.MarkAsHam?
They might be something like Inbox/Bayesian/MarkAsHam, instead, which
would be an easy fix.
