By "service", do you mean SpamBayes, or are you referring to the Windows service version of SpamBayes? If the latter, then the service isn't running (the standard threaded version is, instead). The Windows event log, or the SpambayesServiceX.log files, will have details about why. (Or you can run pop3proxy_service.exe in debug mode). > Loading database...

You're proxying postoffice.att.net:110 on localhost:110, which is presumably correct. The user interface is accessible via http://localhost:8880. > Thinking it might want me to designate my port as 8880, No! 8880 is the port on which the web interface runs. 110 is the port that a POP3 service typically runs, so is a good choice for the proxy. > I tried to set a filter in my email client (Calypso 3.30) as > indicated in the Header Options, seeking to divert any > mail with "spam," in the header to Calypso's Wastebasket. I'm not familiar with Calypso, but if it lets you filter on arbitrary headers, then you should look for a "X-Spambayes-Classification" header with values of "spam", "unsure", or "ham" (no quotes). There will be no comma, just the word. If you can't filter on arbitrary headers (AFAIK Outlook Express is the only mail client to be this limited) then you'll have to ensure that the "notate to" or "notate subject" SpamBayes options are enabled, and filter on either the "To:" or "Subject:" headers. With the subject, the classification will be separated from the actual subject by a comma. With the "To:" header, it depends how Calypso treats the header (SpamBayes 1.1 will be better in this regard). > I have read the FAQ and even gone to the Wiki page > (obviously not aimed at my level of user). The FAQ ought to be aimed at beginning users. If you've got any suggestions for wording etc that would make it clearer, please let us know. The wiki is whatever people put there, really. It does tend to be more advanced stuff, yes (but there's nothing stopping anyone creating some wiki pages aimed at beginning users). =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
