Initial Comment: >From spambayes@python.org """ The problem I am having is occasionally I'll make a configuration change, but accidently move the mouse slightly causing a click on the restore-defaults button instead thus loosing my custom settings. I'd like to see a future version with restore-defaults located far away from the save/advanced/experimental buttons or at least add a "are you sure?" prompt. """ This doesn't seem that unreasonable. An "are you sure" prompt is a bit tricky without some sort of javascript hack, but moving the buttons wouldn't be a problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498106&aid=1001738&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Mon Aug 2 09:29:30 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Mon Aug 2 09:30:15 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Feature Requests-960881 ] Add spam reporting capabilities Message-ID: Feature Requests item #960881, was opened at 2004-05-27 02:44 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by anadelonbrin You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498106&aid=960881&group_id=61702 Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: scott thomson (sthomson2003) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add spam reporting capabilities Initial Comment: It would be awesome to be able to report spam directly from the outlook plugin. This could work well if the mail servers have spamassasin on them (in my case I use outlook/exchange but it passes through a Linux box running SA first with a ham and a spam folder for users to report to). Or you could set it up so you could report e-mails to a third party. This would simplify including headers in your e-mail dramatically as well. I love SpamBayes as is as well, I reccomend it to anyone who asks about spam filtering where I work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2004-08-02 19:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 No response for some time, so closing.

All the unread items remain just as they are and incoming messages aren't filtered either. If I then open spambayes manager, to verify the enabled flag is set (which it is) and then close it, inbox now becomes filtered. If I start Outlook with spambayes disabled, the startup time is fine (this aspect sounds a bit similar to 943702). This behavior did not happen with the previous version, which I think was 1.0b. I've attached two log files, one immediately after startup, and the other immediately after having opened and closed spambayes manager. The two files are merged because there doesn't seem a method to attach more than one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1002273&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Tue Aug 3 01:24:08 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Tue Aug 3 01:24:11 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-1002042 ] X-SpamBayes-Exception Message-ID: Bugs item #1002042, was opened at 2004-08-03 03:13 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by anadelonbrin You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1002042&group_id=61702 Category: pop3proxy Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Alan (a__l__a__n) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: X-SpamBayes-Exception Initial Comment: Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/sb_server.py", line 475, in onRetr evidence=True) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/classifier.py", line 190, in chi2_spamprob clues = self._getclues(wordstream) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/classifier.py", line 493, in _getclues tup = self._worddistanceget(word) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/classifier.py", line 508, in _worddistanceget prob = self.probability(record) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/classifier.py", line 311, in probability assert spamcount <= nspam AssertionError ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2004-08-03 11:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 Unfortunately, this means that your database is corrupt.

Right now, just about all the spambayes scripts do the pickle behaviour above, i.e. if there is no database it opens a new one without error. This seems somewhat nicer than having to explicitly create one if it doesn't exist, although I don't use sb_filter. The reason that sb_filter is different in this respect is that it specifies 'r' as the mode, rather than the default 'c'. I'm sure there is a reason for this, so I don't want to change it - I figure Skip will probably know why it is, so assigning to him. Skip: if you think that the 'r' mode is right, then I'll create a patch to catch the DBNoSuchFileError and print out a nicer "Use an existing database, fool", error. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=759917&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Tue Aug 3 07:59:35 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Tue Aug 3 07:59:40 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-922063 ] Intermittent sb_filter.py faliure with URL pickle Message-ID: Bugs item #922063, was opened at 2004-03-24 10:10 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by anadelonbrin You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=922063&group_id=61702 Category: hammie Group: Source code 1.0a9 (0.9) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Leonid (leobru) >Assigned to: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Summary: Intermittent sb_filter.py faliure with URL pickle Initial Comment: Here are the relevant .spambayesrc lines: [Tokenizer] x-fancy_url_recognition=True x-pick_apart_urls=True [URLRetriever] x-slurp_urls=True Here is the stack trace: File "/usr/home/leob/spambayes-1.0a9/scripts/sb_filter.py", line 239, in ? main() File "/usr/home/leob/spambayes-1.0a9/scripts/sb_filter.py", line 231, in main action(msg) File "/usr/home/leob/spambayes-1.0a9/scripts/sb_filter.py", line 163, in filter return h.filter(msg) File "/usr/home/leob/opt/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/hammie.py", line 109, in filter prob, clues = self._scoremsg(msg, True) File "/usr/home/leob/opt/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/hammie.py", line 38, in _scoremsg return self.bayes.spamprob(tokenize(msg), evidence) File "/usr/home/leob/opt/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/classifier.py", line 246, in slurpi ng_spamprob slurp_tokens = list(self._generate_slurp()) File "/usr/home/leob/opt/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/classifier.py", line 550, in _gener ate_slurp self.setup() File "/usr/home/leob/opt/lib/python2.2/site-packages/spambayes/classifier.py", line 609, in setup self.bad_urls = pickle.load(b_file) File "/usr/home/leob/opt/lib/python2.2/pickle.py", line 982, in load return Unpickler(file).load() File "/usr/home/leob/opt/lib/python2.2/pickle.py", line 597, in load dispatch[key](self) File "/usr/home/leob/opt/lib/python2.2/pickle.py", line 667, in load_string raise ValueError, "insecure string pickle" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2004-08-03 17:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 I'm guessing that something went wrong writing the pickle.

The problem is as follows... I first tried to install the addin for outlook. I had to cancel because it told me to close all outlook tasks and so forth. Then it adviced me to turn of any antivirus programs running. I felt it would be safest to restart my computer, so I choose the cancel button. After restarting and making sure I am not connected with anything like internet explorer, outlook, outlook express, yahoo, msn or anything else that should cause any problems, I get the following error message: You must close Outlook before spambayes can be installed. Please close all outlook windows (using File->Exit and log off" if available) and click retry, or cancel to exit the installation. If the message persists after closing all outlook windows, you may need to log off from windows and try again. I have tried everything now but I can't seem to get the program ready for installing, even though I have disabled my antivirus program and closed all open windows. As the program is not installed I have no log file or anything else to attach. I am running a windows system, xp pro, with office pro installed on it. If you need any additional information about my system, please do not hesitate to contact me! If anyone can help me with this matter I would appreciate it very much!!!

Support requests often get missed as people concentrate on the bug reports and mailing list traffice. Not sure if this is still relevant, but in case it is: 1. We deliberately don't filter any "non-mail" items. This includes what Outlook calls IPM.Notes and IPM.Anti-Virus (the former are often called 'posts', I think). Messages in public folders may be for the former type, which would explain this. If you want this changed, then you'll have to convince Mark it's a good idea (which might not be hard). 2. The log has a variety of access denied errors. I'm not sure whether this is related to training or not. In the advanced options of the Manager dialog there is the option to turn off saving the spam info, which might make a difference. Things related to access have also been fixed since 0.81, so that might also help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498104&aid=824326&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Tue Aug 3 08:39:42 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Tue Aug 3 08:39:45 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-1002273 ] inbox not filtered on startup and excessive startup time Message-ID: Bugs item #1002273, was opened at 2004-08-03 09:17 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by anadelonbrin You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1002273&group_id=61702 Category: Outlook Group: Binary 1.0rc2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: peter (pmaxwell121) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: inbox not filtered on startup and excessive startup time Initial Comment: If I start Outlook (I have Outlook 2000 on Win2K) with spambayes enabled, it takes a huge amount of time before I can access my inbox, and no message filtering is done. All the unread items remain just as they are and incoming messages aren't filtered either. If I then open spambayes manager, to verify the enabled flag is set (which it is) and then close it, inbox now becomes filtered. If I start Outlook with spambayes disabled, the startup time is fine (this aspect sounds a bit similar to 943702). This behavior did not happen with the previous version, which I think was 1.0b. I've attached two log files, one immediately after startup, and the other immediately after having opened and closed spambayes manager.

Have you trained on these sorts of spam? Attaching the clues for a misclassified message would give more insight into this. The Japanese is more difficult, because SpamBayes creates tokens by (mostly) splitting on whitespace, and this isn't how Asian languages work (we would get sentence tokens, I think). It's unlikely that we will ever handle this well, and the best solution would be to have someone (willing to do all the work) create a forked project that has a different tokeniser, customised for Asian langauges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498106&aid=1000427&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Tue Aug 3 08:53:00 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Tue Aug 3 08:53:07 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Patches-909088 ] remove STLS pop3 capability Message-ID: Patches item #909088, was opened at 2004-03-04 04:06 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by anadelonbrin You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498105&aid=909088&group_id=61702 Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Wummel (calvin) Assigned to: Richie Hindle (richiehindle) Summary: remove STLS pop3 capability Initial Comment: Inserting this under the pipelineRe stuff in sb_server.py makes it possible for me to use our cyrus pop server: tlsRE = r'(?im)^STLS[^\n]*\n' self.response = re.sub(tlsRE, '', self.response) Without it, the connection hangs after this log entry: IMPLEMENTATION Cyrus POP3 server v2.1.15-Invoca-RPM-2.1.15-1 .

Of course those people get a reply (please see at TMDA-Homepage to see how it works) but about 50% don't understand the reply-mail. (I don't know why -- the text is very clear!). Spambayes doesn't queue emails that can't be classified -- you receive them as "unsure". I think combining both techniques would cut down wrong positive and wrong negative and the "unsure" numbers. Additionaly it might be useful for training having a definite black- and whitelist. So what are good points (files, classes, methods) to add such a feature?

More debate about that should probably be directed to the spambayes-dev mailing list. That shouldn't stop you from pursuing it, though! spambayes- dev would also be the right place to ask about the best places to hook into this code base. About "it assumes spammers won't use Spambayes and a valid email address", the rub is that spammers often use a valid email address -- but not their own! It's hell to be one of the unlucky people whose email address is forged by a spammer. Whether spam recipients flood such a person with rants or TMDA requests doesn't much matter, that email address becomes unusable due to sheer volume. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Becker-Freyseng, Christoph (beyond-thoughts) Date: 2003-07-03 00:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=186848 (No filter will have probability of false positives of 0.00 but how good is "your filter" when looking through emails in "Spam Folder". There's still human error and if the error of software is <= than that it should be fine. Checking twice of course even lowers that probability) People not answering nag-mails are a big problem for TMDA etc. . That's why it's useless on its own. Your exapmles are good points and yes I don't know a complete solution for them. For (1) I'd ask: How often do you expect emails from online merchants the first time? If it's not too often you can check new emails in "Spam Folder" just for a period of time when expecting such an email. For (2) there's no good solution. (As long as people write emails with a motivation not directly given by you) Utopia: When enough people would be using Spambayes some "reply-confirm-protocol" could be used in background so users won't hear that nag-emails noise.

Beyond general probability concerns, two systematic effects act in this direction: (1) desired email from online merchants very often scores spammy the first time or two you get it from a given vendor, and the reply-to address often isn't monitored (i.e., there's nobody on the other end to *do* a TMDA dance, even if they would want to), and before the first time you get a msg from them you have no idea what to put in your whitelist; and, (2) lots of people simply will not respond to a TMDA nag msg, as Skip said. TMDA users know what those msgs are about, but, for example, one of my sisters forwarded one of them to me asking whether it was a virus(!). Skip said he stopped responding to them too. I also did, as 4 times out of 5, the attempt to respond to one simply generated another braindead bounce msg for *me* to deal with. Trying to make other people deal with your spam doesn't work in practice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Becker-Freyseng, Christoph (beyond-thoughts) Date: 2003-07-02 08:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=186848 Why should I have to check for emails that were stastically classified as spam AND whose sender doesn't reply for confirmation. The probability of ignoring an important email that way is just zero. This approach doesn't need the filter to be perfect. The only thing it can't deal with is people that write emails that seem to be spam and then when asked for confirmation don't reply. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Skip Montanaro (montanaro) Date: 2003-07-02 05:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=44345 Christoph, I think you're missing the point about checking spams. You will never be able to completely avoid that task. It can be sped up dramatically by gathering all messages which look like spam together so you can scan them quickly (just examining subjects for example), but if you simply delete such messages you will eventually lose valid email. No spam filter is (or will ever be) perfect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Becker-Freyseng, Christoph (beyond-thoughts) Date: 2003-07-02 04:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=186848 O.K. we could discuss the right way of handling spam forever. IMO as long as you have to check emails in the "Spam-Folder" it's not the right way, because finally it does not save work. If there is no interest of having added above capabilities to Spambayes I'll use TMDA's scripting abilities to add hammie.py to it. Solving the problem the other way round. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Skip Montanaro (montanaro) Date: 2003-07-02 04:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=44345 I tried TMDA some time ago and didn't like it because it was too cumbersome to manage and many of my correspondents didn't understand the emails they received. Similarly, when I get one of those "please <click or reply> so I know you're not a spammer" messages, I simply delete it. I really don't think that's the right way to do things. If TMDA is cool for you, stick it in your procmail pipeline and use it in addition to or instead of Spambayes, but don't merge the two. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Becker-Freyseng, Christoph (beyond-thoughts) Date: 2003-07-02 04:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=186848 (OT: added my real name) I understand the point of having spam-bayes creating a kind of white-list. (I'm surprised that spammers really dare to use support@microsoft.com etc. It's making damage to a company name and lawyers are always happy having cause :-) ) But the important point is NOT the white-list, but that a sender of an email classified as spam will get an automatic reply enabling him to change the classification. (If an email is classified as spam and the sender doesn't reply to an email asking for confirmation it's 99.999% spam -- which is enough for me not worrying about emails staying in "Spam-Folder") Thanks, Christoph Becker-Freyseng ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Skip Montanaro (montanaro) Date: 2003-07-02 03:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=44345 Whitelist functionality really isn't needed. Spambayes already tokenizes email addresses, so over time it effectively builds up a whitelist for you. Here are some examples from my current training database (the tuple values are (nspam, nham)): >>> db["email name:itineraries"] (71, 10) >>> db["email name:guido"] (0, 8) >>> db["email name:webmaster"] (58, 45) >>> db["email name:skip"] (365, 314) >>> db["email name:support"] (136, 13) Note that itineraries@mojam.com & support@microsoft.com are frequently forged in mail I receive. webmaster@mojam.com and skip@pobox.com are forged a fair amount, but are also frequently correct. On the other hand, nobody has so far taken Guido's name in vain in my incoming email. (I rarely train on Python-related email, so there are only a few messages from Guido in my training database.) Even if you implemented such a feature it would probably not be as sensitive as the current tokenizing scheme. In addition, you would still have to scan your spam. You will eventually get a valid email message from someone not on your whitelist. Regarding: Submitted By: Why do you need this (beyond-thoughts) it's because (in general) too many people submit incomplete bug reports anonymously and then can't be contacted to complete their report. This was a significant problem with the Python project and sort of carried over to the Spambayes project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Becker-Freyseng, Christoph (beyond-thoughts) Date: 2003-07-02 02:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=186848 I know that TMDA and Spambayes have different approaches, but this is what makes it useful combining them. With Spambayes till now I had no false classified emails (just few "unsure") so I'm quite satisfied with it. However I still have to check the emails in "Spam-Folder" because I don't want to risk loosing some false-classified important email. When Spambayes had some TMDA capabilities it could just sent a confirmation-email to the asumed spammer. If he doesn't reply then it's really his fault. So I won't have to check emails in the "Spam-Folder" at all. On the other side people I send emails to could be automatically added to a white-list so they surely won't have trouble with Spamfilters. I have thought of some more configurable rules that could be added making Spambayes an interactive-AI-Spamfilter. I'd like to make a demo-implementation but I need some starting points. Especially I don't know how the Outlook stuff works. But maybe I should just try implementing such a thing for the pop3- and smtp-proxy.

It's a completely different approach to spam-filtering, with almost nothing in common with the existing approach.

In that case it doesn't score any messages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2004-08-02 23:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 This is very old, and should probably be resolved one way or the other. Right now, just about all the spambayes scripts do the pickle behaviour above, i.e. if there is no database it opens a new one without error. This seems somewhat nicer than having to explicitly create one if it doesn't exist, although I don't use sb_filter. The reason that sb_filter is different in this respect is that it specifies 'r' as the mode, rather than the default 'c'. I'm sure there is a reason for this, so I don't want to change it - I figure Skip will probably know why it is, so assigning to him. Skip: if you think that the 'r' mode is right, then I'll create a patch to catch the DBNoSuchFileError and print out a nicer "Use an existing database, fool", error. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=759917&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Tue Aug 3 19:36:48 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Tue Aug 3 19:36:52 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-1002273 ] inbox not filtered on startup and excessive startup time Message-ID: Bugs item #1002273, was opened at 2004-08-02 14:17 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by pmaxwell121 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1002273&group_id=61702 Category: Outlook Group: Binary 1.0rc2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: peter (pmaxwell121) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: inbox not filtered on startup and excessive startup time Initial Comment: If I start Outlook (I have Outlook 2000 on Win2K) with spambayes enabled, it takes a huge amount of time before I can access my inbox, and no message filtering is done. All the unread items remain just as they are and incoming messages aren't filtered either. If I then open spambayes manager, to verify the enabled flag is set (which it is) and then close it, inbox now becomes filtered. If I start Outlook with spambayes disabled, the startup time is fine (this aspect sounds a bit similar to 943702). This behavior did not happen with the previous version, which I think was 1.0b. I've attached two log files, one immediately after startup, and the other immediately after having opened and closed spambayes manager. The two files are merged because there doesn't seem a method to attach more than one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: peter (pmaxwell121) Date: 2004-08-03 10:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1096199 The only folder that's supposed to be watched is "Mailbox - MAXWELL,PETER (A-Americas,ex1)/Inbox". This is on an Exchange server. I don't know why there are four skipping messages (does it try four times?). Outlook can connect to the server because the folder list appears very quickly, and it displays correctly the number of unread items in all the folders. It's strange that spambayes can't access them.

I like to answer email right away so I find myself constantly flipping to Outlook only to find no new messages there because it was spam. Interestingly, my old beta copy of Cloudmark SpamNet doesn't have this problem. It removes the envelope icon when the message is deleted and marked as read.

Have you trained on these sorts of spam? Attaching the clues for a misclassified message would give more insight into this. The Japanese is more difficult, because SpamBayes creates tokens by (mostly) splitting on whitespace, and this isn't how Asian languages work (we would get sentence tokens, I think). It's unlikely that we will ever handle this well, and the best solution would be to have someone (willing to do all the work) create a forked project that has a different tokeniser, customised for Asian langauges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498106&aid=1000427&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Mon Aug 9 11:49:08 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Mon Aug 9 11:49:10 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-1005866 ] Saving options Message-ID: Bugs item #1005866, was opened at 2004-08-09 04:49 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1005866&group_id=61702 Category: pop3proxy Group: Source code 1.0rc1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: SShort (sabrewings) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Saving options Initial Comment: After I acquire a good amount of trained messages, whenever I try to save any options (like to stop caching messages) I get this: 500 Server error Traceback (most recent call last): File "spambayes\Dibbler.pyc", line 461, in found_terminator File "spambayes\UserInterface.pyc", line 770, in onChangeopts File "spambayes\ProxyUI.pyc", line 731, in verifyInput File "spambayes\UserInterface.pyc", line 862, in verifyInput File "spambayes\OptionsClass.pyc", line 585, in convert File "spambayes\OptionsClass.pyc", line 266, in convert AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'split' I searched through the previous bugs, but was unable to find this exact bug on this version nor a way to fix it.

In fact, the mail is just copied and not moved : I have the original in my mailbox and a copy in my spambox, both appear as non- read. I have checked my configuration and it's well define : move to folder xxx. All seems to be all right. Moreover, the option "mark spam as read" is checked but the spams stay non-read. What could I do?

This is a known issue with extremely short messages, particularly in this case where there is no body at all. The problem is that there are so few clues available for SpamBayes to use in classifying the message. There are a couple of options that IIRC are not enabled by default, but may provide additional clues to help classify these messages. One of them is available from the Advanced Configuration page, but the other must be manually added to the config file so I'll just show both of them that way. In your SpamBayes data directory along with your training databases, you should find a "bayescustomize.ini" file. I run Windows so I'm afraid I don't know what path is used on Linux, but I assume it's somewhere under your HOME directory. In this file, look for a section starting with "[Tokenizer]". If that heading is not present then add it. In that section, add the option settings show below: [Tokenizer] mine_received_headers:True record_header_absence:True The mine_received_headers option adds tokens derived from the Received: headers, and the record_header_absence option adds tokens to indicate when common headers such as From:, To:, or Subject: are missing. I can't guarantee that this will improve your results, but it might. I notice in particular that the message you included has no From: header, and recording the absence of that header could quickly become a strong spam clue since very few legitimate messages will be missing the From: header. Unfortunately, if this doesn't help then there probably isn't much else we can do. SpamBayes can only work with the data that is available in the message, and there just isn't much data here to work with. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1007285&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Wed Aug 11 20:40:04 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Wed Aug 11 20:40:13 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-1007472 ] Spambayes slow with XP SP2?

This seems to be related to, but not an exact duplicate of bug ID 964537. Email filtering seems to be working fine; however, if I click or nothing happnes. I originally had 1.0rc1 so I upgraded to 1.0rc2 hoping this would fix the problem. It didn't. Next I tried deleting the toolbar, per troubleshooting instructions -- right-click on toolbars, Customize, highlight spam-bayes, delete, close outlook, reopen outlook so toolbars would be recreated. This didn't help. Next I tried renaming outcmd.dat so outlook would reset all the toolbars and also tried deleting the toolbar after that, which did not work. The last thing I tried was retraining the DB with the rebuild entire DB option checked. I saw the message writing database, but it never changed after several minutes. I hit the close button and closed the SpamBayes Manager, but the toolbars still did not work. I have the logs prior to retraining the DB and after if you want me to send them (I do not see a place where I can attach them in this followup addition). I can also send the DB file if need be.

After doing this there appears to be no change in the functioning of the program, meaning that it is still filtering spam although my guess is that it is somehow not doing it as effectively as it should becuase the number of spam msgs that are appearing in my inbox is significant (approx 20) as opposed to 3 or 4 when it was working flawlessly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Date: 2003-10-31 00:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14198 mhammond at users.sourceforge.net should be fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: William Hughes (w_hughes) Date: 2003-10-30 23:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=892918 I just learned that the max file size is 256K and this file is almost 1 meg zipped.

Replacing all the code by a fresh CVS download from Friday didn't help. Exporting the database and reimporting it to a pickle unfortunately didn't fix the problem, either. I'm still getting these tracebacks, see below. I don't understand the "c:\python23\lib\bsddb\__init__.py" part in the traceback - my hammie.db is a pickled db, and I'm calling sb_server with the -D flag I haven't seen a pattern in which messages trigger this behaviour and which do not. It seems that when after say five or ten successfully processed messages, a message throws such an exception, any other message throws that exception, too. One has to kill and restart the proxy in order to make it work again, for another five or ten messages. ------- X-Spambayes-Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): .

The problem is the Windows XP/SP2 firewall. Assuming that everyone who's meeting this is running against Microsoft Exchange, then the problem appears to be that the firewall is blocking (dropping) connections sent from Exchange to Outlook via a UDP port. I'm guessing that somehow Exchange signals to Outlook that it needs to refresh/redisplay via that port. If you enable the SP2 firewall logging and look at the log file, you'll see the dropped connections from your Exchange server to your machine on a UDP port > 1024. Unfortunately, the port that is used is dynamically assigned by default. I believe if you search MS Knowledge Base you'll find some registry settings to force the connection to a specific port. So unless I'm missing something (quite possible) the only options are to force the connection to a specific port and define that port as an exception within the SP2 firewall or to add Outlook itself as an exception to the firewall. Certainly the latter restores the timely update of Outlook once Spambayes has done it bit. You may wish to consider the security implications of adding (the whole of) Outlook as an exception to the firewall... Maybe there's a way of SpamBayes itself forcing a refresh? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: PeteH (phoare) Date: 2004-08-18 09:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082158 Just following up on my earlier comment - and to agree with wormeater...

I believe the problem is that Outlook is slow to update the contents of the folder. In my case it doesn't appear to be a problem with the firewall. There aren't any dropped packets between my exchange server and my system. I've also noticed that it is sometimes slow to refresh when using the delete as spam button. If I remember right, this slow to refresh after "Delete as Spam" was a problem before I installed SP2. I'm not sure when the problem started - perhaps with rc2?

Initial Comment: I'm not sure if my perception is correct on this but it seems like spambayes may be slower after SP2 is installed. I had been noticing that it was taking a long time for spambayes to move recently received spam into the Junk E-mail folder. I had installed spambayes and SP2 on another computer and the user of that computer also noticed that it seemed slower. It still works and I don't have any hard evidence that the slowness was caused by SP2. We are using spambayes in conjunction with Outlook. Note: I also submitted 799201. That submission is bogus. It was my fault. I didn't understand how spambayes worked. 799201 can be ignored. Thanks for your work on Spambayes - It's awesome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: PeteH (phoare) Date: 2004-08-20 07:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082158 Well in response to cmfinley, I can categorically state that on my setup it is SP2 and it is the firewall. Running Spambayes rc2 since it was released. No problems up until the moment I installed SP2. As soon as SP2 installed, problems. Since then, I've conducted multiple tests and it is absolutely clear that (again on my setup) if I disable the firewall, or allow Outlook as a firewall exception, or open the particular port that the firewall is blocking from my Exchange server to Outlook, then Spambayes (or Outlook) is fine. If I don't do one of those three, then Spambayes/Outlook as the refresh problem. For the record, Windows XP SP2, Outlook 2003 SP1, Spambayes 1.0rc2 and Exchange 2000. OK, not the same setup as cmfinley and I could well believe that there is a difference between the way that Outlook connects with Exchange 2000 vs Exchange 5.5. I don't get a problem clicking on the "Delete as Spam" button. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Curt Finley (cmfinley) Date: 2004-08-19 17:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=840099 After looking at this further I don't believe it is that spambayes is slow to move message. I believe the problem is that Outlook is slow to update the contents of the folder. In my case it doesn't appear to be a problem with the firewall. There aren't any dropped packets between my exchange server and my system. I've also noticed that it is sometimes slow to refresh when using the delete as spam button. If I remember right, this slow to refresh after "Delete as Spam" was a problem before I installed SP2. I'm not sure when the problem started - perhaps with rc2? Note: I have Windows XP SP2, Outlook 2002 (10.6515.6626) SP3 and Outlook connects to and Exchage 5.5 server information store. I have three mailboxes open at the same time. My system is 2.5 GHz with 768 MB RAM. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: worm eater (wormeater) Date: 2004-08-18 16:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1105099 That sounds right phoare... too bad it isn't as simple as opening a single port on the firewall. It's odd that Exchange seems to be able to update Outlook fine when new email comes in, but has problems when SB is moving files around. Here's my solution: I added an exception for Outlook, but changed the scope of the exception to just allow connections from the IP address of the server that has Exchange on it. This seems to be a fairly safe work-around that does not involve changing the default behavior of Exchange. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: PeteH (phoare) Date: 2004-08-18 12:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082158 OK, more on this. The problem is the Windows XP/SP2 firewall. Assuming that everyone who's meeting this is running against Microsoft Exchange, then the problem appears to be that the firewall is blocking (dropping) connections sent from Exchange to Outlook via a UDP port. I'm guessing that somehow Exchange signals to Outlook that it needs to refresh/redisplay via that port. If you enable the SP2 firewall logging and look at the log file, you'll see the dropped connections from your Exchange server to your machine on a UDP port > 1024. Unfortunately, the port that is used is dynamically assigned by default. I believe if you search MS Knowledge Base you'll find some registry settings to force the connection to a specific port. So unless I'm missing something (quite possible) the only options are to force the connection to a specific port and define that port as an exception within the SP2 firewall or to add Outlook itself as an exception to the firewall. Certainly the latter restores the timely update of Outlook once Spambayes has done it bit. You may wish to consider the security implications of adding (the whole of) Outlook as an exception to the firewall... Maybe there's a way of SpamBayes itself forcing a refresh? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: PeteH (phoare) Date: 2004-08-18 09:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082158 Just following up on my earlier comment - and to agree with wormeater... It would appear that Spambayes is performing as normal BUT not it/Outlook is not updating the display. If I get an obvious spam message in, wait a few seconds and then double-click to open it, it says the item can't be found - because it has in fact been moved. BTW I did try the obvious thing of reinstalling SpamBayes after having installed SP2 but that didn't make it better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: worm eater (wormeater) Date: 2004-08-16 20:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1105099 I've been having the same problems since installing SP2 about a week ago. It seems to be classifying the mail but for some reason it's not updating. I say this because you can always speed up the process by opening messages or switching to another mailbox. You may have many spam emails in the Inbox, but as soon as you view any other mailbox, and go back, they will all disappear. The same thing happens if you open an email in the Inbox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: PeteH (phoare) Date: 2004-08-16 14:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082158 No, it's not your perception...

There's probably a helpful (to us ) message in your SpamBayes log file whenever this happens. A real problem is that Outlook destroys the exact structure of incoming email, so you may not actually be able to give anyone else an email that reproduces the problem. When "nothing happens" in an otherwise-working SpamBayes, the usual cause is that the email is so badly formed (violates so many standards about how email *should* be constructed) that the SpamBayes email parser gives up trying to make any sense of it. If that's what's happening, you will find helpful (to us) information in your SpamBayes log file. #### I too am seeing this behavior - on about 1% of spam (I get 2 or 3 messages a day that won't delete as spam).

I didn't notice this for over 24 hours. Apparently, this process locks the .hammiedb I receive my email via procmail with a very simple recipe: :0fw:hamlock | /usr/local/bin/sb_filter.py -d $HOME/.hammie.db :0 * ^X-Spambayes-Classification: spam /home/phil/mail/spam While sb_mboxtrain.py held the lock on the mailbox I noticed these multple entries in my maillog similar to this: Aug 26 09:26:03 nonpoint qmail: 1093537563.312252+ocal/lib/python2.3/site-packages/spambayes/storage.py",_line_189,_in_load/____self.dbm_=_dbmstorage.open(self.db_name,_self.mode)/__File_"/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/spambayes/dbmstorage.py",_line_65,_in_open/____return_f(db_name,_mode)/__File_"/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/spambayes/dbmstorage.py",_line_25,_in_open_gdbm/____return_gdbm.open(*args)/gdbm.error:_(11,_'Resource_temporarily_unavailable')/procmail:_Program_failure_(1)_of_"/usr/local/bin/sb_filter.py"/procmail:_Rescue_of_unfiltered_data_succeeded/procmail:_Incomplete_recipe/did_0+0+1/ I believe that this indicates that .hammiedb was locked and therefore the incoming mail could not be handled by sb_filter.py unfortunately, this appears to have resulted in lost email. Rather than sb_filter.py saving these messages somewhere, anywhere, it doesn't appear to have done so. So I've lost 36 hours of email, D'oh! After killing the runaway sb_mboxtrain process, I re-ran it from the command line and it hung after about 690 messages in my inbox. I then messages beyond 690 to a different folder to try and isolate the problematic message. I re-ran sb_mboxtrain on the 689 messages in inbox and it completed successfully. I then ran it on the 7 messages that may have been the culprit and it completed successfully too (which was somewhat unexpected). I then moved these messages back into the original inbox and re-ran. Also, unexpectantly, it completed successfully. So I'm not sure why sb_mboxtrain.py hung in the firstplace, I just know it did and it was repeatable (until I moved the messages around). Ideally, sb_mboxtrain.py should never hang (a timeout would be nice if it cannot complete processing a single message in a given time period-- eg. if it cannot process message #231 in 10 seconds it should give up). Additionally, sb_filter.py should retain the message in the event it cannot acquire the lock on .hammiedb. Either have a configuration option for a problem-folder (where messages that were unable to be filtered go) or add a header to the message (XHeader: sb-filter-failed or similar) and write it to the inbox as normal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1017039&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Thu Aug 26 19:21:19 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Thu Aug 26 19:21:21 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-1017047 ] -p (use pickle) option on sb_server.py is not parsed correct Message-ID: Bugs item #1017047, was opened at 2004-08-26 10:21 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1017047&group_id=61702 Category: pop3proxy Group: Source code 1.0rc1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: David R.

If you train a message as ham, then the ham probability for the tokens in that message will increase. Train enough messages from the same person, and that person's name and e-mail address will become strong ham clues. Whether or not the message as a whole is classified as ham will depend on whether the strength of the hammy clues in the message is enough to outweigh the spammy clues. > Is there a way to indicate that a message is ham based on > who the message is from? That's exactly what whitelisting is, so there isn't a way to do it explicitly. Most people find that SpamBayes develops an implicit whitelist with sufficient training, as described above. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498104&aid=1016996&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Tue Aug 31 14:30:41 2004 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Tue Aug 31 14:30:46 2004 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-1019621 ] POP3 client hangs - HEADER_SIZE_FUDGE_FACTOR too big Message-ID: Bugs item #1019621, was opened at 2004-08-31 14:30 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1019621&group_id=61702 Category: pop3proxy Group: Binary 1.0rc2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Erik Reeh (erikreeh) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: POP3 client hangs - HEADER_SIZE_FUDGE_FACTOR too big Initial Comment: My POP3 client (POPcon) hangs because the 'pop3proxy' returns too big a message length.
