[Spambayes] Recognized spam not being moved

[Mark Hammond]

The log doesn't look particularly unusual.  I did however notice entries:

 

Training on message 'elmdheid' in 'Mailbox - Brett Gentry/IPM_SUBTREE/Junk
E-mail -  trained as good

Training on message 'Citizens Bank: client details confirmation!' in
'Mailbox - Brett Gentry/IPM_SUBTREE/Junk E-mail -  trained as good

Training on message 'AUTHENTIC VIAGRA AND CIALIS' in 'Mailbox - Brett
Gentry/IPM_SUBTREE/Junk E-mail -  trained as good

Training on message 'Fw: Thanks, we accepted your company application' in
'Mailbox - Brett Gentry/IPM_SUBTREE/Junk E-mail -  trained as good

Training on message 'Sept 4th Update' in 'Mailbox - Brett
Gentry/IPM_SUBTREE/Junk E-mail -  trained as good

Training on message 'Apply 70% discounts on Adobe Software ' in 'Mailbox -
Brett Gentry/IPM_SUBTREE/Junk E-mail -  trained as good

 

Most of those look very much like Spam, so its not clear why they are being
trained as good - it implies something is going a little wrong, and if
nothing else, such spam will eventually be marked as good, and will not be
processed into your spam folders.  Near the end of the log I see:

 

Moving and spam training message 'RE: Official Site' -  Training on message
'RE: Official Site' in 'Mailbox - Brett
Gentry/IPM_SUBTREE/Inbox/Support/Registrations -  trained as spam

Moving and spam training message 'RE: Official Site' -  Training on message
'RE: Official Site' in 'Mailbox - Brett Gentry/IPM_SUBTREE/Inbox/Support -
trained as spam

 

Its not clear if these really are spam or not.

 

I'd review your configuration of spambayes.  If that doesn't offer any
clues, then I'd wait until spambayes starts misbehaving as you describe,
then send us the logs as soon as possible after you notice - ideally
indicating the subject of a message that arrived around the same time.  We
can then review the log for strange things.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

When first opening Outlook for the day, SpamBayes works fine for the first
few minutes, then it stops moving recognized spam into the Junk folder.  I
think it's timing out.

 

The emails that don't get moved show up with significant spam ratings like,
100%.  My filter is set to move things above 10% and I have tried all sorts
of variations on that theme from 1% to 100%.  I get lots of emails (often
100+ when I first open Outlook) and have lots of Outlook rules (40+) so I am
thinking there may just be a timeout at some point and SpamBayes just stops
working.   I have disabled most of my spam related rules (goal is to disable
all of them) but still have my routing rules on.

 

Windows XP Pro (fully patched)

SpamBayes ver 1.0.4

all files in SpamBayes folder attached

 

Thanks--hope this helps you guys too,

 

Brett
