[Spambayes] question about Spambayes setup...

[Tom Peters]

I'm using it with Eudora pro 5.1 in Pop3 proxy mode. If you think any of my 
advice would be applicable, I'm happy to give it. Writing filters in Eudora 
to act on the inserted headers isn't hard but there are a few wrinkles and 
gotchas. Also, I've gotten it to work with Norton antivirus configured to 
scan all outgoing mail, and if you do that wrong with the pop3 proxy, it 
will scan all messages twice each.

Ooops. Just saw the word "Outlook" in your message. Guess you won't be 
needing the POP3 proxy.
