Initial Comment: Hello, I'm using the Outlook Addin and it's great, saves me a lot of time ! Will it be possible to use SpamBayes as a mail management system? Our helpdesk team is receiving hundreds of mails a day. It could be really usefull to teach a spambayes base to forward each mail to the right person regarding the words they contain? Of course, to do that, the learning database should be shared by all the support team, I don't know if already possible? That's two requests in one ;-) Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: gmckone (gmckone) Date: 2005-05-03 10:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1119014 Awesome idea. I'd love to see this. For a company that wants to keep client management simple (out of a CRM) such filtering could detect all emails related to a given client and sort them into the appropriate folder (not rules based as addresses and subjects change) Great! (Maybe it could also watch the sent items and sort those as well :-) ) Greg. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jamie Richard Wilson (roguenovember) Date: 2004-07-13 13:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=870522 There is another SourceForge project dedicated to Bayesian email classification for the kind of use you are requesting: https://sourceforge.net/projects/popfile/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498106&aid=844796&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Fri May 6 21:32:49 2005 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Fri, 06 May 2005 12:32:49 -0700 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-1196814 ] Doesn't Delete Mails on Server Message-ID: Bugs item #1196814, was opened at 2005-05-06 21:32 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=1196814&group_id=61702 Category: Outlook Group: 1.0.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: janbro (janbro) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Doesn't Delete Mails on Server Initial Comment: On Outlook2000 with SPAMBayes 1.0.4 mails which have been marked as spam and are then manually deleted are not deleted on Mail Servers (Pop3). Is true for all pop3 accounts I have. Settings for Deleting are fine, if SpamBayes doesn't move Mail into Junk and mail is then deleted, they are deleted on the Server Server, too. My guess, mails are somehow marked as Spam by Spambayes, which stops Outlooks ability to identify which mail to delete. Just to complete it, the settings on the Client side are: leave mail on server and delete mail on server, when deleted on client. This bug is annoying as, some of the email accounts are used on up to 4 clients, always downloading, what has previously been deleted. Please give me a hint on what I can do, to solve this.

However, this does not seem to be working with mail that has been checked by SpamBayes. When I delete a mail from the "Certain Spam" folder, it is moved to "Deleted Items" as expected, but when the "Deleted Items" folder is emptied, the copy remains on the server. I've tried the same thing with mail that has not been checked by SpamBayes, and it gets deleted from the server as expected. It seems that Outlook cannot tell that the filtered mail is the same as the one on the server. Perhaps this is because of the addition of the spam score to the local copy? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2005-05-09 12:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 Noting dupe in [ 1196814 ] Doesn't Delete Mails on Server https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1196814&group_id=61702 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2005-01-21 16:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 Noting dupe in [ 842182 ] email not deleted from server http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=842182&group_id=61702&atid=498103 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Meyer (anadelonbrin) Date: 2004-02-17 16:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=552329 Noting dupe in [ 859333 ] Outlook will not remove read messages from server ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Severin Sampson (sevsamp) Date: 2003-12-13 17:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=930199 I just submitted another bug message with this same thing, sorry didn't see this one before submitting.

(and in particular, the 1.0a4 release?) If you are: this doesn't include the most recent changes to the Outlook plugin. The only way to get them is to get hold of the cvs source or the binary installer from Mark's website. (Although there have been a great number of improvements to the Outlook plugin since 1.0a4, there hasn't been much changed elsewhere, so it's not really worth releasing a 1.0a5 since most Outlook people use the binary or CVS). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Peguero (plasmadog) Date: 2003-07-30 09:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231995 OK, I've tried it, but it has not solved the problem. I've added the save_spam_info:False to the ini file, but I'm not sure that it's doing what it's meant to. The spam score column is still working as it did before; I would have thought that this would stop working with that option set. Anyway, it still isn't deleting from the server. On the other hand, I'm not certain I have the right version running. I tried uninstalling the plugin, and rebuilding it from the pre-release 4 files, but the SpamBayes Manager dialog still says version 0.3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Date: 2003-07-29 17:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14198 The latest binary version has the ability to disable saving the spam score with each message.

If this option is set to False, then spambayes will not attempt to save the spam score or other information as it filters. You may like to try this option when you can, to see if it has any effect on this bug. You can try it immediately if you use CVS, or as soon as the next release is made. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=773364&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Mon May 9 19:06:47 2005 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Mon, 09 May 2005 10:06:47 -0700 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Support Requests-1198433 ] Delay in start of filtering Message-ID: Support Requests item #1198433, was opened at 2005-05-09 10:06 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498104&aid=1198433&group_id=61702 Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: e3sb4m (e3sb4m) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Delay in start of filtering Initial Comment: Version 1.0.1 Outlook plug-in After using SB for many months, I've noticed that, when starting Outlook, there is a delay of about 15-20 seconds before it starts to filter emails.

This is needed to ensure that SpamBayes runs after all Outlook rules. Without it, there is no way to know whether SpamBayes or the Outlook rules will get to a message first. If you don't use Outlook rules (or if they are all done on an Exchange server) then you can probably turn background filtering off without any problems. You may be able to adjust the values in any case. 1.1a1 is out now. 1.1a2 will probably be another month (everyone's very busy at the moment). 1.1b1 probably a couple of weeks after that (as long as nothing goes wrong), and then 1.1rc1 and 1.1 final a couple of weeks after that. No guarentees, though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498104&aid=1198433&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Wed May 11 06:40:56 2005 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 21:40:56 -0700 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Support Requests-1192148 ] Outlook 2000 crashes 1179651 Message-ID: Support Requests item #1192148, was opened at 2005-04-29 14:50 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by anadelonbrin You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498104&aid=1192148&group_id=61702 Category: Install Problem (example) Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Marc Erickson (marcerickson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Outlook 2000 crashes 1179651 Initial Comment: This is an addendum to report 1179651.

Since it is, it's very difficult to figure out what the cause might be. I suspect that you'll find that either the log doesn't get created or that an empty log is created. Neither really helps much in figuring out what is happening. (OTOH, if there is something in there, then that would say a lot). Doing the uninstall removes everything that doing the install adds. It doesn't do anything else. Doing an install then an uninstall ought to leave the registry unchanged. I'm not suggesting reformatting the HD, or reinstalling Windows. I wonder if maybe removing Office/Outlook completely, then reinstalling it (the Repair doesn't really seem to help very often) might do it. If their Office install is highly customised that's a very time-consuming process, though. (Or if they have many Outlook accounts that will need to be re-setup). My thought was more along the lines that perhaps this isn't a problem we'll be able to solve, and maybe a filter other than SpamBayes might be an idea (unless all Outlook add-in filters have this problem, in which case it's almost certainly Outlook). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marc Erickson (marcerickson) Date: 2005-05-11 17:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=477851 Does anything get written to the SpamBayes logs?

I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Office with Add/Remove Programs and updated it. They don't have anything special in their Office installation - the only customizing is setting up the two email accounts. Removing and reinstalling Office with Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and then updating it is at least an hour - probably closer to two hours. As you probably know, removing Office with Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel leaves all sorts of crap behind - as with many Windows programs. Removing Office completely means a long session of manual file and folder deletion and hand Registry editing. Microsoft publishes a tool that automates this - but it doesn't run on Windows XP, only earlier Windows versions.

I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Office with Add/Remove Programs and updated it. They don't have anything special in their Office installation - the only customizing is setting up the two email accounts. Removing and reinstalling Office with Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and then updating it is at least an hour - probably closer to two hours. As you probably know, removing Office with Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel leaves all sorts of crap behind - as with many Windows programs.

The first is that it's really best to only train on mail that you receive - there are clues (addresses, received headers, etc) that will not be correct for each user, and the idea is to train on spam unique to each user. Secondly, this is likely to lead to an imbalanced database (more spam than ham) unless you can be sure that the users will train on similar amounts of ham to start with (and imbalanced databases are a bad idea). Thirdly, generally a small database is usually better than a large one, and this may lead to a large database. See http://entrian.com/sbwiki/TrainingIdeas for more information. If you do decide to do this anyway, it would probably be easier to simply train a database on this mail and give the database files to each user to start with rather than getting them to do the training in Outlook. As for the problem, the owner privileges are required to score messages because the spam field is modified/created. If you turn off writing the spam field (not really a good idea) as described in the configuration guide, this may work. If you train without rescoring the messages, does that work? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1199978&group_id=61702 From noreply at sourceforge.net Fri May 13 05:51:33 2005 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 20:51:33 -0700 Subject: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Support Requests-1188382 ] Open External PST resets Filters Message-ID: Support Requests item #1188382, was opened at 2005-04-23 11:16 Message generated for change (Settings changed) made by anadelonbrin You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498104&aid=1188382&group_id=61702 Category: None Group: None >Status: Pending Priority: 5 Submitted By: JM (jonmikelv) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Open External PST resets Filters Initial Comment: I opened an external PST file and SpamBayes immediately complained about an unkown folder and needing to be retrained.

Perhaps also generate tokens for the ratio of incorrect/correct spellings? This could be chunked to make it easier to train eg: all, more than half, about half, less than half, none. These should be seperate for subject and for body since garble in the header is very predictive of spam. Also, there has to be some way to look for words with "impossible to pronounce" consonant clusters such as "dvgkbm". Could spambayes be made to look for "syllables"? Eg: by parsing words into syllables and generating tokens for each? I'm not sure there's a parsing technique that's sufficiently internationalized.

Sorry, ignore that bit. The hack I suggested for misspellings can be extended to unpronounceability counts, or anything similar.

That doesn't make any difference. The difference is when you "generate tokens for the count of misspellings" (or unpronounceables) - then your system starts to decide that high unpronounceable conts are spammy, and techie messages get more spammy.

Also, as a spellcheck hack: words that are already recognised tokens, and are ham indicators, should not count as misspelled even if the spell check rejects them. This would then quickly learn not to add "xmlrpc" into the misspelled-words count and ratio. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richie Hindle (richiehindle) Date: 2003-12-06 02:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=85414 We spambayes developers spend a lot of time talking about smtp, pop3, cdo, mapi, tcpip, http, html, py2exe, rfc822, chi2, kmail, ie, oe, xmlrpc, bsddb...

It looks like someone has: the author of Spammunition, a free bayesian Outlook add-in. Spammunition is similar to SpamBayes (I like SpamBayes better; it's more effective), but Spammunition includes an option to turn off the "new mail" icon if it moves spam out of your Inbox and there are no unread mesages remaining there. Outlook will still play a sound/open a pop-up when something arrives, if you have Outlook configured that way. With Outlook configured to play a sound, and Spammunition configured to turn off the icon when appropriate, you know spam has arrived because you'll hear the sound, but the icon doesn't show up. Spammunition hasn't been updated in quite a while, but the author posted a news item on his web site saying he was trying to make it an open source project, so perhaps you could recruit him...

System is Windows XP Home, SP2, latest updates SpamBayes Outlook Addin Binary Version 1.0.4 Outlook 2002 (10.6515.6735) SP3 The user was running SpamBayes for some period of time and everything worked. User reported that one day when she clicked on a webpage (either embedded in the email, or a link), she got 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 click Cancel to exit the installation. If this message persists after closing all Outlook windows, you may need to log off from Windows, and try again." with a choice of "Retry" or "Cancel". Clicking Retry just brings back the same error message. I've: o Closed Outlook (both via the close button and File/Exit) o Used Task Manager to ensure that Outlook was indeed closed o Closed the Palm-Sync app o Used Task Manager to ensure that Palm-sync was indeed closed o Uninstalled SpamBayes o re-downloaded 1.0.4 o Installed it again. All to no avail. We still get the "You must close outlook before SpamBayes can be installed" message.

It might take me a couple of days until I get back to the system, but I'll definitely check it and let you know.

Weird. The only explanation I can think of for this is that the spambayes installer has been set as the helper application for http (instead of IE/Firefox/whatever). Can you check that? IIRC you have to get to that setting in IE/Firefox rather than in Outlook itself, but it's been a long time since I've had to edit anything in there. (The code that gives this error message is only in the Inno installer - so something is launching it). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Larry (fiatlarry) Date: 2005-04-20 14:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1262650 >You still get this message when? The message happens everytime a link is clicked in an email message. Because of the message, the link is not able to be opened in IE or Firefox. >This message is part of the installer, not part of the add-in, so >you're trying to (re)install SpamBayes, right? Nope. Just trying to get SpamBayes to work again. The user had it working for several months when it stopped one day. It's not my system, so I can't say what happened to make it not work, but it's been this way for sometime now. >The troubleshooting guide explains about using the Task >Manager to ensure that OUTLOOK.exe and mapimsgs.exe are >not running when you install - have you done that? Yep. I went through the troubleshooting guide and about everything else I could find on the website. The problem is *not* that SpamBayes is not installed. It's that it was running and now it seems to think it needs to be installed again.
