[Spambayes] TypeError:object does not support item assignment

[bruce]

I'm having difficulty getting spambayes to work with my pop mail server and need some help troubleshooting.

- Linux version 2.4.27 
- spambayes-1.0rc2
I'm using stunnel to connect to my remote mail server, but it makes no
difference whether I connect directly to mailServer:110 - 
I get the same error messages. If I bypass spambayes, all is fine (except for the loads of spam, of course).

   [bruce at argusology mail]$ /usr/bin/sb_server.py
   SpamBayes POP3 Proxy Version 1.0 (July 2004)
   and engine SpamBayes Engine Version 0.3 (January 2004).

   Loading database... Listener on port 8110 is proxying localhost:110
   User interface url is http://localhost:8880/

when I try to connect to the pop server:
   [bruce at argusology bruce]$ telnet localhost 8110
   Trying 127.0.0.1...
   Connected to localhost.
   Escape character is '^]'.

I get ([bruce at argusology mail]):
   error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <__main__.BayesProxyListener listening :8110 at 0x40acfe4c> /
       (exceptions.TypeError:object does not support item assignment

   [/usr/lib/python2.4/asyncore.py|create_socket|261]
   [/usr/lib/python2.4/asyncore.py|add_channel|245])


then I hit <enter>, and ([bruce at argusology bruce]):
   Connection closed by foreign host.

and I get ([bruce at argusology mail]):

       return getattr(self.socket, attr)

I would appreciate it greatly if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Bruce
