Hang on there; is "Spam Suspects" different from "Junk Suspects?" That is, do you have SpamBayes putting suspected spam in a different folder from where Outlook/Exchange puts suspected junk? If so, you're quite right that my initial hypothesis was incorrect. If SpamBayes is just doing a bad job of filtering your messages, it might be worth retraining it from scratch. Also, please note that SpamBayes does not filter based on the sender, or more accurately, the sender is one of many factors that SpamBayes uses to score messages. If you get messages from someone you trust who sends you messages that have content similar to messages that you're trained as spam, you may have to train a lot of messages from that sender before SpamBayes gets it right. If all else fails, you can set up an Outlook rule to move messages from senders you trust before SpamBayes processes them. Just move them to a folder that SpamBayes is not set up to filter.

That is not happening. Instead I am having to recover time and time again the same sender from "Spam Suspects." ________________________________ From: Jesse Pelton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 11:12 AM To: Douglas B McAdams; spambayes@python.org Subject: RE: [Spambayes] Problem Maybe I'm not understanding the problem. I think you're saying that you're finding messages in your Junk Suspects folder that you think SpamBayes should recognize as ham. My point is that if that's the case, it may not be SpamBayes that's putting the messages there. If that's not what you're trying to get across, maybe the classic "Here's what I do (in detail), here's what I expect to happen, and here's what actually happens" narrative would help. Also, please specify your environment (mail client name and version, SpamBayes version, operating system name and version). Please "reply to all" so a) you get the benefit of the experience of everyone on the list, and b) future users can search the archives and get the benefit of whatever resolution comes of this exchange. ________________________________ From: Douglas B McAdams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 11:00 AM To: Jesse Pelton Subject: RE: [Spambayes] Problem I don't think your response addresses my problem. My issue is that when I pull an item sent by a sender from the "Junk Suspects" and click on "Recover from Spam" I have be having to do it over and over when I receive e-mails from the same sender. In essence the Spam filer is not accepting the training.

It may well be the former. I prefer to set up separate spam and spam candidates folders for SpamBayes. I don't trust the classification performed by Outlook/Exchange, so I have SpamBayes filter Outlook's junk folders. If you set up version 1.0x of SpamBayes, any messages that Outlook/Exchange thinks are junk but SpamBayes does not will remain in the junk folder. With version 1.1, SpamBayes is capable of moving good messages, so messages incorrectly classified by Outlook/Exchange can be moved to your inbox. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas B McAdams Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 10:55 AM To: spambayes@python.org Subject: [Spambayes] Problem Importance: High I have had to continually pull the same senders from my "Junk Mail" suspects.
