Don't download the source archive, and you don't need to worry about that. Just download the Windows installer and it's much simpler to do. <http://spambayes.org/windows.html> > I'm using XP and Outlook Express After you have run the installer, it will show you a document that explains how to proceed. Basically you need to: 1. Right-click on the little envelope icon that appears in the tray (collection of icons by the clock) and choose "Configure...". 2. In the top box, enter the address of your mail server (e.g. "pop.example.com"). 3. In the second box, put "110". 4. About halfway down the page, tick the "unsure" and "spam" boxes in the "Notate To" option. 5. Click "Save" at the end of the page. 6. In Outlook Express, go to Accounts from the Tools menu. 7. Select the mail account (clicking the Mail tab might help find it). 8. Click Properties. 9. Click the Servers tab. 10. In the "incoming" box, write "localhost" (without the quotes). 11. Click Ok & close your way back out again, and you're done. Now incoming mail will have "unsure," or "spam," in the recipient list (if SpamBayes thinks it's unsure or spam). You can setup rules to move those to other folders, colour them, or whatever. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) 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
