Then your complaint is about Outlook 2007, so needs to be addressed to Microsoft. Good luck ;-) Really, there's nothing SpamBayes (or any other spam filter trying to work with Outlook 2007) can do about this. > I've tried to figure out how to get SpamBayes to just *delete* the stuff it > identifies as spam, as it's been 100% accurate for so long that many times I > just delete all the contents of the spam folder without bothering to check > each message.

Outlook decides to notify you about new messages /as/ it's downloading new email from your ISP. That happens before any spam filter can look at the messages. It's simply telling you "you have new email" -- which is true, regardless of whether or not you want the new email. > So, I'm going to have to move on.

For example, you could get a Google GMail account. Their spam filtering is pretty good, but in my experience has a much higher "false positive" rate than SpamBayes (that is, GMail mistakenly calls good messages "spam" more often than SpamBayes does). _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Info/Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
