[Spambayes] Duplicate messages handled differently...?

[Kenneth Sole]

Hi Tony & All,

I do not believe that it is a rule problem:

I have only one rule, and that moves messages from a particular
address to their own folder. None of the messages with which I have
had problems have that return address.

But, you mentioned another instance of SpamBayes:

I have two systems that read the same Outlook PST file (using Public
Outlook). Each of those systems had an instance of SpamBayes. On the
local machine SpamBayes sorted incoming messages, and it was on the
local machine that I had the problem described below.

The remote machine's instance of SpamBayes was used (only very rarely)
to train on messages that were incorrectly sorted on the local
machine.

Though I understand nothing about the mechanism of potential
interference, there is that possibility.

I have left SpamBayes on the remote machine, but have disabled it by
un-checking.

I will run that way to see if it eliminates the problem I have been
having.

Sincere thanks,

Is there any way that Outlook could be moving the message (a rule, for
example)?  It really shouldn't be possible for SpamBayes to process a
message without generating the log entry.

If you disable/uninstall (doesn't effect training/configuration) do
any
messages end up in the Review folder?  If so, then something else is
obviously to blame (I can't see how, but maybe a second SpamBayes
instance?
Or Outlook, or another plugin?).  If not, then maybe it is SpamBayes
somehow
- but I can't think of where to even start looking in the code.
