[Spambayes] Error on proxy connection & smtp proxy doesn't see spam

[sean darcy]

I'm trying out sb on a linux redhat 9.0 machine using evolution. The web 
based configuration doesn't work, so I created this for the .ini file:

[pop3proxy]
servers:mailhost.mydomain.com  <---- this is a real domain
ports:120
persistent_storage_file:/opt/spam/spambayes/data/hammie.db
add_mailid_to:header
include_prob:True

[smtpproxy]
servers:mail.optonline.net
ports:220
ham_address:ham at spam
spam_address:spam at spam


In evolution, the mail server is set to localhost:120. The smtp server is 
set to localhost:220

I start up pop3proxy:

pop3proxy.py
Loading database... Done.
SMTP Listener on port 220 is proxying mail.optonline.net:25
Listener on port 120 is proxying mailhost.mydomain.com:110
User interface url is http://localhost:8880/


When evol gets the mail, it says getting pop summary, then hangs waiting for 
  the first message.

at the terminal window where I ran pop3proxy I get:

error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel 
<__main__.ServerLineReader connected at 0x8353a4c>

Is this a bug - or did I misconfigure spambayes/

Second:

I tried to "train" sb by sending spam to spam at spam. This seemed to go OK, 
but when I go to the web page the "Review Messages" shows no untrained 
messages.
How do these training messages show up?

thanks for any help
