I don't think we need to close up shop - we can only be straightforward about the state of it. "Sorry, at the time we have no developers able to work on that configuration". It's a FAQ, and pointing to that is all the response needed or possible. I know you like to be helpful, Skip, and have been _very_ helpful here since the start, and this is frustrating for all who like to help. But it is what it is, and capable Windows developers willing to work "for free" are mighty rare. The software continues to be of real value on many other platforms, right? Evolution in practice ;-) For me, I haven't used "my" project in years - I use gmail for almost all my email now. And I don't have any of {Win7, 64-bit, Outlook 2010} even I had time to dig into it. So I don't expect anything substantive here to change in the foreseeable future. But that's OK! Spambayes delivered remarkable value to countless thousands of users, and still does. If users of some popular WIndows configurations are out of luck for now, they should really blame Microsoft ;-) From amedee at vangasse.eu Wed Jun 29 09:56:51 2011 From: amedee at vangasse.eu (Amedee Van Gasse) Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 09:56:51 +0200 Subject: [spambayes-dev] If we don't get some more Windows help pretty soon...

I would just add a notice on the website that SpamBayes is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit + Outlook 2010, and leave it at that. It works perfectly fine for my .procmailrc setup on Linux, and for many other configurations. It's open source anyway. Anyone can checkout the repo, write a patch, and ask for a pull (git terminology over here, I don't know which repo SpamBayes uses).

SpamBayes still gets 95+% of spam coming into our network - impressive considering all the messages that only have an image embedded or contain many lines of hidden, gibberish text. Although it may be common knowledge here, I have never seen this mentioned. I tested sb_server on a Win7 Pro 64 bit system to see if it functioned. I can report the Windows1.1a6 binary installed and functioned quite well. If you want to run as a service you must do "runas administrator" when loading the command prompt box for issuing the "sb_service.exe -install" command; otherwise it is fairly standard. The only issue I had was when configuring via the web interface. It would save any changes, but always complained with the following: 500 Server error Traceback (most recent call last): File "spambayes\Dibbler.pyo", line 476, in found_terminator File "spambayes\UserInterface.pyo", line 883, in onChangeopts File "spambayes\ProxyUI.pyo", line 569, in reReadOptions File "sb_server.pyo", line 981, in _recreateState UnboundLocalError: local variable 'state' referenced before assignment Messages like these could scare away the timid, but they do not seem to hinder functionality. So, individuals who insist on using Outlook, could use sb_server like the rest of us, if SpamBayes is essential to them. Please continue the project.
