You can drag messages from either folder to your inbox, or select one or more messages in either folder and click "Recover from Spam" (or "Not Spam," depending on your SpamBayes version). If you're not sure where your spam and possible spam are going, click the "SpamBayes" button on the Outlook toolbar, select "SpamBayes Manager..." from the menu, click the "Filtering" tab, and look at your filtering settings. (These directions are for 1.1a4; you may need to modify them for earlier versions.) ________________________________ From: spambayes-bounces+jsp=pkc.com at python.org [mailto:spambayes-bounces+jsp=pkc.com at python.org] On Behalf Of Susanne Holtze Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2009 8:14 AM To: spambayes at python.org Subject: [Spambayes] restore von spams Importance: High Hallo, can you explain me a way to restore unwillingly mails I declared for spam?

This appears to cause some problems so I'm working on fixing the issue or working around it. So far a normal installation causes Outlook to crash upon opening. Uninstalling the plugin and grabbing the source, I got outlook to open with the plugin using the addin.py in the Outlook2000 directory in the source. The current problem is when running the configuation wizard to set up the folders, spambayes fails to expand the folder list to view any folders deeper in the tree. win32traceutil.py reveals: ---- Start Block ---- Collecting Python Trace Output... GetNextPage with current 0 IDD_WIZARD_WELCOME Python WNDPROC handler failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\j\My Documents\Installers\sb11a4\spambayes-1.1a4\Outlook2000\dialogs\FolderSe lector.py", line 707, in OnNotify folderSpec.children = _BuildFoldersMAPI(self.manager, folderSpec) File "C:\Documents and Settings\j\My Documents\Installers\sb11a4\spambayes-1.1a4\Outlook2000\dialogs\FolderSe lector.py", line 92, in _BuildFoldersMAPI temp_id = mapi.HexFromBin(store_eid), mapi.HexFromBin(eid) TypeError: HexFromBin() argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, not int Python WNDPROC handler failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\j\My Documents\Installers\sb11a4\spambayes-1.1a4\Outlook2000\dialogs\FolderSe lector.py", line 707, in OnNotify folderSpec.children = _BuildFoldersMAPI(self.manager, folderSpec) File "C:\Documents and Settings\j\My Documents\Installers\sb11a4\spambayes-1.1a4\Outlook2000\dialogs\FolderSe lector.py", line 92, in _BuildFoldersMAPI temp_id = mapi.HexFromBin(store_eid), mapi.HexFromBin(eid) TypeError: HexFromBin() argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, not int Cancelling wizard Saving configuration -> C:\Documents and Settings\joes\Application Data\SpamBayes\SCALIX NO CACHE.ini SpamBayes: Watching (for filtering) in 'Mailbox - J/Test' SpamBayes: Watching (for incremental training) in 'Mailbox - J/spam' Ctrl+C ---- End Block ---- The Python WNDPROC handler failed message occurs when the dialog to select a folder is clicked on. I have tried to typecast the eid and store_eid as strings. They still show the same error just with a str() encapsulating the eids. I am either looking to _fix this folder error_ or _configure the ini manually_. With manual configuation I cannot figure out what the first id is and where it comes from. For example the INI might read:: spam_folder_id:('01234', '98765') The '98765' string is an Outlook folder ID. I have managed to trace these on my system. What does the '01234' id correspond to and how can I find it (or control it) on my system?

Can you track down the SpamBayes log file(s)? (Check the troubleshooting guide.) If so, does it(they) reveal anything interesting about the problem? Also, read through the SB FAQ.

I have sent you a donation sometime in the past. I will be happy to send another one if you help me with the following. (I know that bribe is not needed, but I write software for a living and I like my work to be appreciated). I use SpamBayes with MS Outlook 2003 and it works for me. My wife has separate Windows and Outlook accounts on the same (Windows XP) computer, and her SpamBayes has stopped working. It may have something to do with the fact that she had somehow deleted the Junk Suspects folder, but God knows what else she might have done. The Delete As Spam button is still there, it doesn't do anything. The Recover button is gone. Her COM Addins list is empty. (Lookout is missing as well, how did she do that?) Trying to extrapolate from the COM Addins list in my account, I tried to Add your Outlook_addin.dll but that doesn't do anything. The dialog seems to expect a .exe file. I could remove the entire program and download and reinstall it, but I fear that I may then lose the information that my copy has already learned about spam. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Try just download and reinstall? Don't delete anything first. It shouldn't zap anything. You didn't say if you were using 1.0.4 or 1.1a4. If you're using 1.0.4 I'd say reinstall that first. Once you get it working again, download 1.1a4 and give it a try. It's been out for quite awhile and appears to be very stable.

In case you are interested: Following skip's suggestion (separate thread) to uninstall and reinstall SpamBayes did not fix the problem. Answering the question below: The dialog I was referring to was the "COM Addins" dialog box, accessed from Tools/Options/Other/Advanced Options. In my wife's Outlook account, trying to add SpamBayes there wouldn't do anything. But it did work after I changed her Windows account type to Administrator. This seems to be a requirement. I have made a donation.

I recently reinstalled it after having to rebuild my desktop, and I now find that it puts messages with spam scores as low as 0 into the Junk email folder, even though I have it set to classify only messages that score 90 or above as certain spam and put them in the Junk email folder, and messages with a score of 15 or above are classified as suspected spam and put in the Junk Suspects folder. I followed the usual process of retraining it with messages that I had previously retained that were known "good" and known "spam", but it now routinely puts messages that I trained it to identify as "good" into the Junk email folder. I recover those messages, and have it set to train that when I recover a message from the Junk email folder to classify it as good, but it continues to put messages with scores of zero in the Junk email folder. I checked to see that I had the latest version of the software, and do. any suggestions? John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What happens if you simply delete all training messages and start over from scratch? Does everything score as 0.5 until you start moving them into the proper folders? -- Skip Montanaro - skip at pobox.com - http://www.smontanaro.net/ From gaqbep at gmail.com Tue Mar 31 03:01:30 2009 From: gaqbep at gmail.com (Ymton Emanlaer) Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:01:30 -0400 Subject: [Spambayes] Spambayes engine for usenet client? Message-ID: <4484B0CD2263446EBE755BE9DF48638E@unruhlaptop> Does anyone know if the Spambayes engine is/has been used for filtering news groups? I like usenet but am tired of the NG killers that post tons of trash and I thought Spambayes might be a good client side solution. Do you think it could work? Any response is appreciated.

What is your usenet client? Do you use a usenet proxy like Leafnode? -- Amedee From skip at pobox.com Tue Mar 31 17:55:14 2009 From: skip at pobox.com (skip at pobox.com) Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 10:55:14 -0500 Subject: [Spambayes] Spambayes engine for usenet client?

Rich> Any response is appreciated. I have incorporated SpamBayes into Mailman's gate_news script (a Usenet-to-mailing list gateway). You'd have to integrate it in a similar fashion to your Usenet newsreader or some NNTP server. I haven't used Usenet in about 10-15 years though. I have no idea what the specific options are. If you're using Twisted News you might be able to integrate SpamBayes into it without a lot of effort. If that's a possibility for you but you have no ability to do the integration yourself you might try asking for help in the Twisted mailing lists. -- Skip Montanaro - skip at pobox.com - http://www.smontanaro.net/
