Bayesit! Confusion
Hello TB Users and Beta Lists, I had been using Bayesit! for a few years with fairly good success on my laptop. About two months ago, my laptop developed a hardware problem and I switched to my wife's desktop (XP Pro SP2). I have been training Bayesit! from scratch and have had it catch nothing :-( Turning on logging, I discovered that Bayesit! appeared a bit confused. From my log file: C:\data\TheBat\Mail\bayesitbase\spamdict.bye C:\data\TheBat\Mail\bayesitbase\nspamdict.bye Spam frequency dictionary: Error loading file. May be it is corrupted or lost. Non-spam frequency dictionary: Error loading file. May be it is corrupted or lost. Dictionary didn't load. Continue in training mode... No current recalculation session. Silent exiting... There is, of course, no such bayesitbase subdirectory. Looking at the Bayesit! configuration (under Basic filter's options), I noticed that I had browsed to c:\data\TheBat\Mail\bayesit for the working directory. When I manually added the trailing backslash, the log file showed me that it could now find both spamdict.bye and nspamdict.bye. That was just a few days ago and Bayesit! has still not found any spam (I guess training is just starting now). However, looking at the Information page is see: Spam frequency dictionary: C:\data\TheBat\Mail\bayesit\\base\spamdict.bye Size: 1386 letters. Capacity: 81940 words. Non-spam frequency dictionary: C:\data\TheBat\Mail\bayesit\\base\nspamdict.bye Size: 13135 letters. Capacity: 649383 words. Current active dictionary: Currently active dictionary contains 155617 words. Status: OK Please notice the '\\' in those filenames. Anyone else seeing these problems? I am currently running the most recent announced beta, although I do not believe this is a beta issue - so I am including both mailing lists. -- Best regards, Bill TB!

It has been a while since I used Bayesit, but IIRC, you go into Options, Preferences. Select Anti-Spam, highlight bayesit in the window and select properties. I think that is where you can tell it where to put it's data files. You should be able to delete the extra slash there. Then you want to be sure that the directory exists and see if you can find the default files that need to be there ... I don't remember if there is one or two that has to be there, but it will recreate the dictionary and such if they do not exist. But it will not create a directory. Sorry, that is all I remember. -- Best regards, MikeDmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.81.07 Beta on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current beta is 3.81.06 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Easy one. Please check the Working directory of the plugin in the
BayesIt! configuration. You should have one ending \ in this text box,
remove it.
