Summary: pop3proxy notate_to okay for spam, nothing for ham/unsure

Initial Comment:
I want to shunt the unsure messages into a separate 
folder so I can train based on the unsure messages 
only.  (My OE rules drop the spam so I never see it.)

I've checked the _pop3proxy.log and it doesn't show up 
there, so it isn't a problem with Outlook Express.

add_mailid_to:body doesn't seem to work either, what 
should I be seeing?

using version 1.0a4
SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Beta1, version 0.1 (May 2003),
using SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Web Interface Alpha2, 
version 0.02
and engine SpamBayes Beta2, version 0.2 (July 2003).

[pop3proxy]

listen_ports:1101,1102
remote_servers:pop.arvotek.net,mail.eol.ca
notate_to:True

Checked into cvs today.  From the next release you will be 
able to set the notate_to (and notate_subject) options to 
either nothing, "ham", "spam", "unsure", or any combination 
thereof.

This is a feature, not a bug ;) Because notate_to is such an 
ugly way to include the classification, it only tags spam 
messages, since you probably don't want to reply to those.  I 
suppose I could change the option to allow you to 
select 'none', 'ham', 'spam' and 'unsure'.  What do other 
people think about this?

Nothing ;)  When things got moved around the option was 
broken.  It's unlikely to be fixed, and will probably be removed.

Well, from the next release dumbdbm isn't usable.  This means 
that anyone that tries to use a dbm that doesn't have 
something better will have no option but to use a pickle (or 
install something better).  Anyone using Python 2.3, though, 
does have something better.  This also means that when a 
binary version of pop3proxy (et al) is made, bsddb will be 
available.

Python?

"print Options.options" gives you "<OptionsClass.OptionsClass 
object at 0x00E1D7F0>" (your address may differ).  Why 
would you want this?  Do you want a list of all the available 
options, or a list of the current options, or what?  You should 
be able to do all the manipulations of the options you need 
via the web ui.

fixable.

This shouldn't be the case.  Are you certain?  (you 
said "appear").  If you are, then please open a bug - with the 
current problems with the list, things are likely to get lost 
otherwise.
