SS> I am using The Bat v3 with the new SPAM plugin. SS> Is there any clues"? A couple of things ... 1.) did you train it with lots of *not* spam? It is at least as important to show it what is not spam as it is to show it spam. 2.) You mentioned restoring TB from a back up and later that you are using ver 3. Did you have an anti spam that you were using in that old "back up" version? You need to be meticulous in removing all traces of the old plug-in. Un-install it, clear out all the data files and directories that it created (there was data in the program tree as well as in the data tree on my 'Bayesit' anti-spam plug-in), re-add in the plug-in and now go retrain it. Not sure what problem you are having with filters ... are you sure that they are set correctly? I have ... at various times ... made mistakes on what I was filtering, where I was filtering, what action I was taking, etc. If they are 'hold overs' from the earlier version, you might try deleting all the filters and then putting them back in one at a time to see if maybe something was corrupted in the conversion/upgrade. -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v2.12.00 on Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
