spam filtering
Hi, I am trying the latest version of The Bat! profesional. I have a question on spam mails. There are a quite a few spam mails I get daily. If I mark them as Junk, will that ensure I don't get them in future? If possible, I would like The Bat! to delete them without even downloading them. Is it possible and if yes how do I go about it? Thanks. Shantanu -- http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

To get Mark as Junk to work you need to install an anti-spam plug-in like Achim Winkler's BayesFilter (http://www.lkcc.org:8500/index.php). After a short time of training it will recognize most spam messages you receive. And that's the operative: *messages you receive*! TB will still download the messages from the server but you won't see (most of) them. I think there's currently no solution to automatically delete spam on the server without downloading. You may use the Message Dispatcher to look at the headers on the server and then delete them manually. Or you can set up elaborate filters for selective downloading. From my experience it takes more time if you invoke the Dispatcher or Selective Downloading than to download all mail and let the plug-in do the dirty work. -- Dierk Haasis :Dierk: Copy 'n' Concept The Bat 3.0.1 RC7 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Chat info for ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber upon request Erwarte von anderen nur, was Du selbst bereit bist zu geben.

KS Is it possible and if yes how do I go about it? What do you mean by not get THEM in future? Did you receive one and same spams every time? If so, it is simpler to just create selective download rule. For few spam mails daily it may be enough. If you set up bayesit! filter (note, that there are two filters with a big looking like names: bayes filter and bayesit. I mean bayesit), it may create the set of regular expressions based on the difference in headers between your junk and non-junk letters - this set will be auto-updatable and will allow you to REALLY stop download junk and kill them on the server. However, the other side is that when you using selective download filters you will, actually receive about +20-+50% of traffic - since The Bat! will receive only headers first, filter the letters, and finally receive the filtered mails (again, with the headers). -- Sincerely, Alexey.

Well, on one account I get only spam and maybe real ham in 1000. I selected all mails and marked them as junk (around 200 of them) in last few hours. I am using the bayesfilter 1.5.6 Then I created another account (this) and downloaded mails. I found out that all the legal mails even ones from the The Bat! list today were going into Junk mail folder. What is the reason of this? What do I do now for it? -- Best regards, Shantanu http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You definitely must not only mark your junk as junk, but also mark your good mail as non-junk.

password protected account deletion
Hi, I have an old account on The Bat! whose password I have forgotten. I do not need that acount, nor its mails anymore. How can I delete that account? Whenever I try to delete that account The Bat! asks me for password. Any ideas? Cheers, Shantanu -- http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

DO you mean that even my legitimate mails are caught as spam because I have not taught bayes more ham against spam.
