So how do I enter proxy > details in my configuration file? Note that this will not work if you use the "Automatic configuration file" setting for a proxy, which IE and various other browsers support. Supporting that is just too much work to be worth doing for something like checking for a new version. If you do have actual proxy details to enter, then: 1. Open the "default_bayes_customize.ini" file in your data directory. If there isn't such a file, create one (with (eg) Notepad). 2. At the end of that file, add these lines, filling in the appropriate details (excluding the """): """ [globals] proxy_username:username proxy_password:password proxy_server:proxy.example.com:8081 """ If you don't need to specify a username/password, you can leave those lines out. If your proxy port is 8080, you can leave out the (eg) :8081 part. 3. Restart Outlook. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list ([email protected]) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
