Connections failing...
I have v3 and the new filter system transferred from v2 like a dream and works beautifully. Well worth the upgrade fee alone. However - query: This has always applied since I started using POPFile. Note: BayesIt kept freezing connection centre so I ditched it for POPFile. It works very well except that ever since v2 I have problems with connecting to the POP3 server(s). I have 40 email accounts and wheh I do a check and download all, may of them (not specific ones each time) just appear briefly in the Connection Centre and then disappear as iff they have been checked but they haven't in fact and the message for each of these is Couldn't connect to server. Since many of them are on the same server it seems odd. Is there some time out business going on that is doing it, might it be a limit on concurrent connections with TB or PoopFiel? I need suggestions for what settings I might tweak methodically to isolate the cause of this behaviour. If, immediately after this has happened I go through each accoutn and hit F2 individually they always connect and check. -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 3.0 with POPFile 0.21.1 on Windows XP 5.1 Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Marten! Would you want to consider using BayesFilter? So far no one using BayesFilter has reported a problem, as far as my reading and memory go. As I suggested in my posting - I've tried BayesIt but have ditched it because it freezes the connecion centre completely leaving CTRL-ALT-DEL as the only way out. -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 3.0 with POPFile 0.21.1 on Windows XP 5.1 Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

After the limit has been reached, subsequent connection attempts are put in a queue and will be resolved at a fixed rate. Under normal operation, when applications are connecting to available hosts at valid IP addresses, no connection rate-limiting will occur. When it does occur, a new event, with ID 4226, appears in the systems event log. Why is this change important? What threats does it help mitigate? This change helps to limit the speed at which malicious programs, such as viruses and worms, spread to uninfected computers. Malicious programs often attempt to reach uninfected computers by opening simultaneous connections to random IP addresses. Most of these random addresses result in a failed connection, so a burst of such activity on a computer is a signal that it may have been infected by a malicious program. What works differently? This change may cause certain security tools, such as port scanners, to run more slowly. How do I resolve these issues? Stop the application that is responsible for the failing connection attempts. --- cut --- Maybe this applies to you?

I went to that URL just now to see what it said. Found this (partial quote). It is Achim's page: 30.09.04 I released a new version (v1.5.2) of the Bayes Filter Plugin with many new features and bugfixes. Please read the The Bat! section for more information! Of course, as Alexander Kunz pointed out to me in this thread, you may not want a plug-in, since you prefer PopFile. If so, I apologize for taking up your time. As I said, up to now, I don't have any Spam offered to me on the Message Dispatcher--at most one or two a week. But the threads on tbbeta in regard to the BayesIt freeze all indicate that using BayesFilter instead fixes that problem. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.0.0.7 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
