    Martin> If you comment out spambayes_uri, you get a roundup error saying
    Martin> Edit Error: Unsupported configuration option: SPAMBAYES_URI

in instances/spambayes_integration/detectors/spambayes.py you should
probably change the dict access from

    spambayes_uri = db.config.detectors['SPAMBAYES_URI']

to something like

    try:
        spambayes_uri = db.config.detectors['SPAMBAYES_URI']
    except KeyError, e:
        return (False, str(e))

though I'm not sure just what kind of object db.config.detectors is.
Hopefully it raises KeyError, but it might raise something else.

    Martin> If you set it to an empty string, you get
    Martin> IOError: unsupported XML-RPC protocol

If you want the empty string to be a valid value for spambayes_uri, then
change the ServerProxy() call from

    server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(spambayes_uri, verbose=False)

to

    try:
        server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(spambayes_uri, verbose=False)
    except IOError, e:
        return (False, str(e))
