From louise2005 at nyc.rr.com Mon Aug 1 00:56:59 2005 From: louise2005 at nyc.rr.com (louise) Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 18:56:59 -0400 Subject: [Spambayes] How do I remove the Outlook Add-In from Outlook? Message-ID: <000001c59623$285afac0$6401a8c0@Sonata> Win XP Pro and Outlook 2002. While troubleshooting Outlook with a Microsoft Tech (for a different problem), I wanted to uninstall Spambayes to be sure it wasn't the cause of the problem - it wasn't :-) I uninstalled Spambayes via add/remove programs. However, it kept coming up on the Outlook toolbar. I am under an impression I'd have to uninstall the Outlook add-in but when I looked at the add-ins, I couldn't figure out which one might be related to Spambayes. Thanks.

When I specifically click this button, I've already identified it as spam and I don't keep spam. I'd MUCH prefer to have it move the spam messages to the DELETED folder so that I don't have to come back and move them out of the JM folder later. I DO however think that if SB identifies a message as spam, it SHOULD be moved to the JM folder for me to review.

I'm thinking maybe SB could play it's OWN notification sound (allow me to choose a WAV file) and I would disable the system mail notification sound.

First, I assume he's using the Outlook plugin, and that his machine (and Outlook) will be running while he's away. If this is the case, I think you have a couple of options. SpamBayes allows you to enable or disable background filtering. The intent is to allow Outlook rules to run before SpamBayes processes messages. Since you want the opposite behavior, you could try turning background filtering off. It's configured using the Advanced tab on the SpamBayes Manager. I think this is a hit-or-miss approach, however, and may not work reliably. The other approach would be to download SpamBayes 1.1a1, which allows you to specify a destination folder for ham. You'd configure SpamBayes to move ham from the inbox to some other folder, then use an Outlook rule to forward messages that arrive in that folder. > -----Original Message----- > From: spambayes-bounces at python.org > [mailto:spambayes-bounces at python.org] On Behalf Of Matthew Geiger > Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 10:18 AM > To: spambayes at python.org > Subject: [Spambayes] Question > > I have a user using Spambayes on their windows machine running outlook > He is going out of town but would like to have HIS good e-mail > forwarded to His aol account. > problem is > I set up the rules wizard to forward his e-mail. > But it acts on that first before Spambayes has had a chance to filter. > I want spambayes to filter then to forward all the good non > spam e-mail > to his aol account. > > Any ideas how this is to be done?

We have a way to do that. It's called user contribution <0.1 wink>. See FAQ 4.15: Specifically, even saying that "the first half of the welcome page is hard to understand because it uses a lot of technical words like POP3, SMTP and IMAP" is a great deal more helpful than just a general "you need to make things easier for non-technical people to understand". It's important to remember that this software is *free*. You get what you pay for, and all that. All the work here is done by volunteers working in their spare time. That includes everyone that answers questions on this mailing list. There are limits to what can be done. There are non-free anti-spam products, of course. (See for examples). You have every right to expect that these products will be appropriately supported, including in the way of documentation.

Your > software did not alter, or add a "classification header" to > any messages. All of my spam messages are arriving exactly > the same as before, with, or without your software. If you haven't told Outlook to get mail via SpamBayes, then nothing will happen. SpamBayes doesn't know about your mail unless you get it via SpamBayes. You're connecting directly to the mail server, so SpamBayes has no way to know anything about any mail, let alone alter it. FAQ 1.5 (part 3) explains how a POP3 proxy works, if you would like to understand it. > Finally, when you talk about changing the connection to > localhost, I can't find that option in Outlook 98. I don't have a copy of Outlook 98 (and have never used it), so I can't say where it will be. The most likely place to look, based on my experience of Outlook 2000 and above, is in the "Tools" menu. If there is an item called something like "Accounts" in there, that would probably be it. You want to find the specific account that you are wanting filtered, and open up the properties for that account (possibly via a "Properties" button, or by double-clicking the account). In there, you will find your "incoming mail server" or "POP3 server", or something to that effect. At the moment, it will be set to whatever the address of your mail server is (e.g. "pop.example.com"). You need to change this to "localhost" (no quotes). > For example, your question about localhost > does not tell me where to type it, nor how to type it. I > found some references on the http://localhost:8880/config > page, but no guidance. The "read me" (the name gives it away!) that the installer offers to open when you install SpamBayes explains this. It doesn't give specific instructions about how to do it ("You need to set your mail client to receive mail from localhost rather than your mail server."), because the instructions will be different for every mail client (Outlook 98, Outlook Express, Eudora, Thunderbird, ...). The most common client that people have trouble with is Outlook Express, and that is explained in great detail in the FAQ: I'm not sure how to explain how to type something. You find the key on the keyboard that looks most like an "l" and push that one, and go from there . I'm obviously missing your point; feel free to clarify and I'll try to answer seriously. > I guess the bottom line is that Spambayes is really for > teckkies. No doubt, it is a fine product. The Outlook plug-in is *extremely* easy to use. If you were using a version of Outlook that was 5 years out of date, instead of 7 years out of date, you could use that, and wouldn't have any trouble <0.2 wink>. The POP3 proxy isn't as easy to use/setup. This is gradually changing - if you compared the process of getting it running now to how it was a couple of years ago, then you would find that it is vastly easier. The speed at which this can improve is very limited when everything requires volunteer effort, but it is improving. The challenges are greater when trying to provide simple setup for a solution that isn't tied to a specific mail client. That doesn't mean that it isn't possible, and there has been work done towards this, which will be completed at some point. It does mean that it takes longer to get the non-plug-in version to the level of simplicity that a plug-in version can reach. However, there are a great number of non-technical people that have managed to setup SpamBayes successfully (otherwise we wouldn't have a FAQ answer specifically for Outlook Express!). Once it is running, you should find (if you continue with it) that it is simple to use, and very effective. =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.

If Outlook Express asks for a password, just enter in whatever the password is for that mail account. SpamBayes just passes this on directly to the mail server (SpamBayes is only interested in message bodies, not any other communication between the client and server).

You need to tell Outlook Express that it needs to connect to port 8110/8111 for the other accounts. Go into the properties for the accounts (where you changed the server to "localhost") and go to the "Advanced" tab. It will currently have 110 for the incoming mail server's port.

Message-ID: <20050808094724.B2D0240F45@kraid.nerim.net> Hi all, I'm a (very) happy user of spambayes/windows XP SP2/Outlook 2003 SP1 since ages until yesterday evening. I updated yesterday my Outlook from the Microsoft Windows Update page, then restarted it. I then got an error message from Outlook complaining about a severe error which occurred during the spamwayes plug in startup, and was asked to disable it or not. I answered YES. Then Outlook worked fine (but I found 175 messages in my inbox as I was just returning from vacation in Corsica, but this is another story :-) I then got from sourceforge the latest version of spambayes/XP, the 1.1a1, then uninstalled the previous one (1.0rc1) via the software install/uninstall control panel, then installed the 1.1a1, then restarted outlook. I did not get the installation wizard prompt, and the two spambayes buttons are inactive. I guess it is because I have to "tell" Outlook to "reenable" spambayes. How do I do that?

Improvements to documentation obviously require no programming skills at all, so the entry barrier is low. FWIW, SpamBayes *does* work. It's easy enough to find testimonials from people that verify that (none of which are on our website; we don't care about marketing, but Google will find them for you). Again, if you are having trouble setting SpamBayes up, then you are welcome to ask for help. If you ask specific questions, you will get specific answers. If you don't want to bother, then you get a full refund and can use some other product. =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.

My impression-just from using lots of software, that is, a user- is that it's a problem in PYTHON. That is, there's no consistent way to let the OS know where python keeps things, so there's no way to write scripts that always work. Or the script is calling a 'makefile' program that's been replaced. Prior response "I believe (Googling seems to back this up) that this means that you need to install the python-devel (or however your system spells it) package to use distutils. (You can use SpamBayes without running setup.py, of course - just manually put the spambayes package directory on the PYTHONPATH, and run the scripts from wherever you like)." HOW? "Can I just copy the required files manually? If so, what files (or directories) are needed to use spambayes with procmail (Kmail)?" I don't know how to set or find the 'PYTHONPATH' to install spambayes manually- if someone does, would you please explain it?

Hi all, I'm a (very) happy user of spambayes/windows XP SP2/Outlook 2003 SP1 since ages until yesterday evening. I updated yesterday my Outlook from the Microsoft Windows Update page, then restarted it. I then got an error message from Outlook complaining about a severe error which occurred during the spamwayes plug in startup, and was asked to disable it or not. I answered YES. Then Outlook worked fine (but I found 175 messages in my inbox as I was just returning from vacation in Corsica, but this is another story :-) I then got from sourceforge the latest version of spambayes/XP, the 1. 0.4 , then uninstalled the previous one (1.0rc1) via the software install/uninstall control panel, then installed the 1. 0.4 , then restarted outlook. I did not get the installation wizard prompt, and the two spambayes buttons are inactive. I guess it is because I have to "tell" Outlook to "reenable" spambayes. How do I do that?

IF SO, WHERE TO? Well, this project doesn't accept donations for itself. The developers recommend that if you would like to donate, give to the Python Software Foundation (which is US 501(c)(3) public charity). The PSF mailing address can be found here: http://www.python.org/psf/about.html Other ways to donate (including info about deductibility of donations for US taxpayers): http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html If you do send a check to the PSF, please write on the check that you're donating because of SpamBayes. While there's no official connection between this project and the PSF, the PSF tries to keep track of why people donate, and that may reflect in future grant decisions. Disclosure; I started the SpamBayes project, and am also on the PSF's board of directors.

Fred Showker -------------- Background: An "FFB" is a "Filter that Fights Back" See: http://www.60-Seconds.com/articles/163.html and: http://www.paulgraham.com/ffb.html I've been an avid spam fighter and supporter of anti-spam activism since before the SpamCop opened his doors. See: http://www.user-groups.net/safenet/UCE/index.html Many web sites use my "free" anti-spam logos and icons posted to the web in the mid-1990s. (see: http://www.Anti-SpamTools.com/) So, I approached Paul to refine his "FFB" and sell it to me to release into the public domain as FREEware -- for quick and wide deployment in the computer community. A wide-spread deployment of such a filter would reap huge benefits for the anti-spam effort. However, he declined $50,000 fearing retribution. For obvious reasons, this filter would have to be very carefully constructed and tested; with sufficient safeguards built in to prevent targeting non-spamming entities. After consulting attorneys and legislators on the matter I drafted a feasibility study to prove that such a filter would be perfectly legal and would actually prevent retribution or litigation from any ISP who became thwarted in their spamming activities. The bottom line is: > "If a sufficiently large number of computer users initiate a > series of requests to the the same IP address at the same time, > no single user could be identified or singled out for the > purpose of litigation for any resulting denial of service. > Furthermore, the software filter itself could not be held > responsible since any single source is incapable of producing > requests in sufficient quantity to evoke a DOS." It's a 'community' problem, so the 'community' is probably the only 'best' way to combat it. So, I continue my quest for a programmer who is not necessarily "profit" motivated -- with enough grit to stand up for what is right.

The reason for this is that by triggering cascades of bounce messages (a joe-job), a spammer could easily create a DoS attack against a website by subverting the actions of any FFB filter that might recieve the message. -Bill Yerazunis Greetings Benjamin Han Are you associated in any way with a college or university?

Maybe your shop doesn't want users adding stuff to the "Local Settings" ("LOCALS~1") subdirectory of their cached roaming profiles, since that can result in semi-permanent clutter on the client system. If that is the problem, and you don't have the necessary privilege to fix it, try redefining your %temp% environment variable to put the temp directory somewhere else, e.g. in the roaming portion of your profile. The double slashmarks in the error messages are wrong, of course, but I assume that they're just an artifact of the error reporting scheme. Possibly the messages are shared with the Unix version of Spambayes, in which the extra slashmarks may well be required.

Other things aside, I haven't been able to convince myself that FFB is an effective way to "fight back": - It is hard to avoid harming the innocent without putting human in the loop (checking if the URLs are really spammy). If a conventional filter makes a mistake, the user at most will lose his email (or most likely needs to find the filtered mail in a junk folder). But if a FFB makes commits a false positive, it can cause major damage to good people. And I'm not sure whether putting human in the loop is a feasible idea (unless someone wants to start a company doing this). - It is easy for spammers to work around a FFB. An URL can encode a lot of things, including whom the email is sent to. This is not just the query strings in URLs, but also possibly including the domain names themselves (e.g., encoded-uid.foo.biz). Once a spammer discovers which user is causing trouble, s/he can just stop sending spam to that user, or in the case of encoding user ID in domain names, s/he can just shut down that particular name. - It is possible to invite retaliation from spammers. It's just a corollary from the above. Of course I'd be happy to see all or some of the above to be false. In the meantime I think I'll still be spending time improving a more conventional filter.

And I can confirm that's certainly the _intent_, but ... there's really no way for us to know whether Scooby's could the culprit be an outlook function used in SpamBayes may be on to something. The Outlook API functions are endlessly mysterious, and hackers are forever finding ways to trick supposedly safe APIs into doing things Microsoft didn't intend for them to do either.

And please allow me to add: When you forward such a message they really need it forwarded as an ATTACHMENT so that the entire message with all of it's own parts and attachments will remain intact and unmodified. This is not the same as forwarding the message as a regular text by merely selecting it (in Outlook) and hitting Ctrl-F. The odd behavior of Outlook to control-F is that when one message is forwarded in this manner it does so as an ordinary (new) text message. If you select 2+ messages they get added to a new message as attachments when you hit Ctrl-F. (There is a laborious way to get a single message attached to another message but the easy way follows...) Select two messages, the one you wish to forward first and any other message (the next one) second. Press Ctrl-F. Remove the extra (second) message edit the containing message text to explain....and send. -- Herb Martin From tameyer at ihug.co.nz Tue Aug 16 08:31:52 2005 From: tameyer at ihug.co.nz (Tony Meyer) Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 18:31:52 +1200 Subject: [Spambayes] Error message on install sb 1.0.4 on win xp pro In-Reply-To: Message-ID: > The double slashmarks in the error messages are wrong, > of course, but I assume that they're just an artifact > of the error reporting scheme.

The error messages are straight from Python, which escapes '\' in strings (to allow '\n' to be a newline, '\t' to be a tab, etc). SpamBayes doesn't do any processing of the traceback. Certainly for any filename in a traceback you can just treat the double slashes as a single slash. (FWIW, my only suggestion about the actual error would be the same as Bob's - it appears that you don't have access to write to the temp directory, which is where SpamBayes is trying to log). =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.

You can use the POP3 proxy for the POP3 accounts, and the IMAP filter for the IMAP ones.

Message-ID: <4304816E.1070008@imst.de> Hi List, we would like to use Spambayes in our Company with about 130 people. In this Moment we use the pop3 Proxy function and the webinterface to learn-on Mail which was classified as "unsure". Spambayes connects to our Qpopper Server. Spambayes runs on a different machine than the Mailserver and is only used by a few people. Now we are about to switch the Mailserver over to courier-imap, where we want to use spambayes in Procmail Mode ( so that every User can decide to use spambayes or not ). Spambayes will run on the Mailserver itself. Is it possible to use the Webinterface ( together with our old, globally "hammie.db" ) , too ? I haven't found anything about such a feature in any Howto / Manual. Thanks !

I believe this is possible, although I've never done it myself. There's a script called sb_upload.py which can act as a procmail recipe and upload mail to the web interface. So you can use sb_filter.py and sb_upload.py together, one to classify messages and the other to upload them to the web interface for training. Does that sound like what you're after? I guess you'd run the web interface on the same machine as the mail server, and then the two could share the same database. I'm not sure whether that might cause conflicts - hopefully someone who's used this system (or the guy that wrote it - Skip, are you there?) will confirm or deny that... -- Richie Hindle richie at entrian.com From karol.burns at clearychemical.com Fri Aug 19 22:19:48 2005 From: karol.burns at clearychemical.com (karol burns) Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 16:19:48 -0400 Subject: [Spambayes] I've Lost My Mail Message-ID: First time user here.

The Redirector seems to "keep it's place" in redirected mail using a process whereby it places an inbound message in the inbox, which it then deletes. Unfortunately the Spambayes Outlook add-in, sees these messages as spam, and moves them to my spam folder. Oddly they always seem to end up as spam, never suspected spam. When I try to train on them it seems to make no difference. The sending email address is tweaked a little each time, there seem to be half a dozen choices. If I could just whitelist na.blackberry.net, the problem would be solved. Any thoughts welcome. Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I had read the FAQ on whitelisting, but it seemed to miss the actual need for blackberry users. Blackberry users that want to use the desktop redirector need to watch a giving mailbox (or boxes) and that is the box that takes the synchronization messages, so short of having a rule that copies all mail to another box, whitelisting is the only answer I could think of. That said, I have been having better luck with training, and seem to have got spambayes "hamming" my blackberry.net messages now. The timer issue works the other way, I need to slow down the blackberry, it seems to grab the spam from the inbox before spambayes kicks it into the spam folder. This happens even if I turn off background filtering or set the filter time to 0.0 seconds (if only I could set it to a negative number and filter the mail before it arrived).

SpamBayes works best with roughly even numbers of ham & spam. 1::3 or even 1::5 might work ok, but you have 1::550! To SpamBayes, everything will look like ham, because almost everything it has ever seen is ham. You should retrain from scratch. See for more information about training. It's suspicious that the number of trained spam is so low, if you have been dragging messages out of the Inbox (or whereever) into the spam folder. If the count (it's displayed on the main tab of the SpamBayes Manager dialog) doesn't change when you do that, could you send us a log that includes you doing that? (The one you sent only included moving in the other direction).

Yes. If you're using POP3 to get your mail, then you can download the main Windows installer (I'm 90+% sure that the installer itself will work in Win98) and choose to install the POP3 Proxy (sb_server) (rather than the Outlook plug-in). Follow the steps in the readme that it offers at the end, and it should all work fine. Be sure to download SpamBayes 1.0.4 and not 1.1a1. If you're using IMAP4 to get your mail, then things are a bit more complicated. SpamBayes 1.0.x doesn't include a binary version of the IMAP filter (although 1.1 will; you could try 1.1a1). The easiest thing to do is probably run from source - there are instructions at . Basically, you'll need to install Python (), and the source version of SpamBayes.

A shame you don't recall the actual error message. You could try running the Wizard (or redoing the configuration manually), which should solve the problem if it's just misconfiguration.

Let's start with the simple question - after downloading it, did you install it? A bit more complicated: What operating system do you have? More complicated: What email client did you use?

The SpamBayes mailing list is public and publicly archived, as clearly documented on the SpamBayes site. See http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/contact.html. The purpose of the archiving is to increase the availability of the knowledge represented by answers to questions, which can save greatly speed up the process of getting an answer. There is no feasible way to retract postings. Once you post to a public list, you've put your message into the public domain BY YOUR ACTION, regardless of any warnings attached to your message. No one does, can, or should remove this information from the internet. If the list manager software somehow managed to understand your confidentiality clause, the only reasonable action it could take would be to suppress distribution of your message, in which case no one would ever see it and you would get no response, which would presumably be counter to your intent.

Yesterday, he calls me and says that the spambayes toolbar no longer appears in his outlook toolbar. I uninstalled and reinstalled spambayes, with no weird error messages, and still no spambayes toolbar. All the correct files are present in C:\Program Files\SpamBayes, but there are no spambayes logs in \Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp. I already tried to manually add the toolbar in outlook, but it looks like spambayes did not even register the outlook addin, even though it said it did in the install. Any ideas?
