Bayesit configuration - help needed
Hello TBUDL, Since I'm getting inundated with spam I decided to try the recommended plug-in. I have met a configuration problem. I'm using The Bat! 2.11.2 with BayesIt 0.5.5. I am on dial-up so I do not download larger messages , preferring to leave on the server for later action using Mail Despatcher. Hence, I have a filter which , on the next logon, matches all messages in the Inbox and deletes from server. Now, to the problem if I configure BayesIt to automatically move spam messages to the Junk folder, these messages are not in the Inbox at the time of the next logon, hence do not match, and do not get deleted off the server! So. I am trying to configure BayesIt to leave the messages it regards as spam in the inbox but merely mark them read. There is a check box to do this (on The Bat! preferences anti-spam leaf) but , although it is checked it is also greyed out and does not appear to function (NB I have both the 'delete' and 'move' checkboxes unchecked). Is this normal and does anyone know what is going on? Perhaps unrelated, if I go to The Bat! preferences plug-ins leaf, highlight BayesIt and click configure the Rules button for setting black/white lists is similarly greyed out. Again, is this normal? I guess the main problem is the seemingly poor help available for BayesIt. Is there a help file somewhere I haven't located? I'd like to know what all the options mean! Thank you -- Ian Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

There's an old english one for v0.4: http://klirik.narod.ru/usefuls/bayesiteng.htm As far as I know the newer one is only evailable in russian: http://www.ritlabs.com/ru/solutions/BayesIt.php There are some comments though in the advanced.ini file. -- Cheers, Andre Die Normalität ist eine gepflasterte Straße; man kann gut darauf gehen - doch es wachsen keine Blumen auf ihr.
