I am still using it under Windows 8 but it only works for the 32 bit version of outlook and you need to follow the installation directory instructions.

which isn't to say the authors support it. I've seen no official
notice either here or on its web page regarding whether the authors
have abandoned it or not.

Having said that, I'm still using it on Linux, and until something
better comes along (or it gets so old it can't be made to work anymore)
will continue doing so.

If something breaks, many times Skip Montanaro will fix it, as he 
monitors this list; however, I don't believe any new development is 
happening.

If you are not bound to the Outlook plugin, the sb_server version will 
work with just about any email client.  Configuration and training are 
done through a web page (http://localhost:8880).  If using Windows 7 or 
above, the recommended installation directory is C:\spambayes.  Do not 
use the default install directory.

There is also a script in the install directory to install SpamBayes as 
a Windows service, which I find to be a good option, especially when set 
to start automatically.

Like Fred, I intend to run it until it no longer works.  It's that good, 
although the proliferation of encrypted mail makes the job a bit harder 
by hiding the body of the message.  The same applies when the body of 
the email is an image, something many spammers do.  That being said, 
SpamBayes works well for me, even in a business environment where one 
server classifies mail for many users.

Hi,

there have not been releases since some time and if you have a look at 
the svn then you can see that there has not been any development at all 
for some years now:
https://sourceforge.net/p/spambayes/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/ (last changes 
2011).

I'm not sure if this is anything official, or not, but there are some 
github repositories where some development is taking place:
https://github.com/smontanaro/spambayes (2015) -> at least the username 
resembles the svn username on sourceforge a bit.
There are some forks, too, that see some code changes and discussion.
(Probably this can be seen as hint for a new release: 
https://github.com/smontanaro/spambayes/commit/71a53502184bbdaf4ce7308e28b883b8a3353e71 
)

I don't know anything about the outlook plugin, that seems to produce 
issues from time to time. But with the main part of spambayes being 
python software, it can run under any system that has a python 
interpreter. Also imap and pop3 are pretty old protocols and as long as 
they are used for mail transfer and the way mail is encoded, does not 
change, spambayes will still do its job even without any new releases.

Just my 2cents.

Achim K?nigs

I've been using Spambayes as a plugin with David Harris' Mercury mailserver
for many years. I suppose it's easier to keep it running with Mercury as
this program too seems to lack in development:-) It's indeed unfortunate
that no new developments are taking place, apparently. Yet - it still works
as is, and it's still a very good tool.
But like Fred Smith I hope for something better to come along; something
which tries to keep on top of all the new tricks spammers invent. But will
it? Or are we, the Do-It-Yourself guys, just left in the cold? Will I soon
have to rely on the filters of big companies, which not only have their own
take on what is spam (which is different from mine) but also take liberties
with 'privacy' which I find hard to accept?
Hans
