Thanks for the replies, Doug and George! That was it. Two tests were in test mode, even though I had unchecked that option. I'm now fully live. I left my machine running test mode over Christmas break, and am finally in today to check on things. I have tons of messages, so that's why I asked If I could delete messages. I am running the databaseupdate script as we speak, though. So after that is finished, and there are still tons of emails in there, I should be able to delete the oldests messages, correct?
Thanks again Great way to kick off the new year! ernesto -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of geode Sent: Monday, January 01, 2007 2:08 PM To: assp-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Assp-user] Received spam question.

You might have test mode on for some of the checks that are determining tha the messages are spam. Basicly if have, for example, Bayesian filtering turned on in that section, then puttin a check in the test mode box for Bayesian will let the message be marked as spam but delivered as if it were not. The emails in the spam and not spam folders needs to collect to a point where you have several hundered (hopefully of each). At that point you can do the rebuild described in the getting started docs. After that you can set up a task to run every so often to do the rebuild. I do mine daily. At some point there is process to change the file naming process for collected spam and not spam to use numbers instead of the subject. At that point, the is another setting that limits the number of files in those directories. I have not done any of the file-name-as-numbers yet. Hope that helps. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/OK%2C-how-did-this-SPAM-get-here--tf2904529.html#a8116 451 Sent from the assp-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
