I don't know what TB's default setting is. I think ask before sending,
but I've set it to ignore always.
It is possible to create a filter that checks for reading
confirmations. I don't know what the right header is, but you can set
a read filter that checks whether the recipient is in your AB and
checks for the presence of the appropriate header. With as action a
read confirmation.

You  can  try  to  look entire header line instead of only spam
word  in headers. I don't know how Your K9 is configured but mine
is  configured  to  put  X-Text-Classification:  spam  for spam
messages. So Your filter should look something like:

Header   Contains  X-Text-Classification: spam

GB BayesIT had been working pretty well for me up until upgrading to the
GB current TB version with the built-in plug-in.  I tried to bring it up to
GB speed by running through all my old junk mail as well as a collection of
GB good mail, but it still wasn't catching much after about a week of operation
GB and I was wondering what was wrong.


Go to check and see what version of BayesIT you have, I will guess that it is
something other than 0.4. That is what I found out, once I deleted out the
BayesIT that was installed with the program and put 0.4 in things seem to be
working fine now. It was just last night that I did this so haven't had much
chance to really check it, but it has caught some and before I wasn't catching
any.

If you go to the website and then to Knowledge Base you will find an article
about the BayesIT filter and where to get the latest version.

Good Luck

But 0.4 is pretty old and 0.5 works much better. From my experience you
have to retrain when you upgrade to 0.5, though.

There's also 0.5.4 but I think that only comes with tb! Don't ask me

All truth passes through three stages.
 First, it is ridiculed.
 Second, it is violently opposed.

Upon some experimenting I found that can get up to 0.5.5 with url:

I've seen no anouncement of those, though, and this is the first time I

It is not catching ANY SPAM at all.
Well, this isn't helpful, but FWIW I have the same problem. Even 
setting the score to 5 didn't help. I use IMAP, and I've come to 
assume that Bayesit doesn't work on IMAP connections. But maybe the 
problem lies elsewhere.

Melissa, most will do it by using two separate filters. The very last
filter in your list should be labelled SPAM, and with that you do this:

Strings:   e
Location:  Anywhere
Presence:  Yes
Move To:   Trash

The second to last filter is where you filter anything that has your
address in it, and you can name it PERSONAL. Here you list all your
addresses under Strings (only one though on the first tab, and the rest go
under Alernatives/Add Set because it provides the or argument) as the
Recipient, and leave the messages in the Inbox.

After a while, if you feel confident that it's truly only scum sucking
spam that is being filtered by your SPAM filter, then you can add Delete
Message to the filter under the Actions tab. :o)

You need to create a selective filter.

Selected by:

enable 'originator'  (god only knows why they term it originator instead
  of simply 'sender')


Signal Strings :

Just type '@' without the quotation marks


Set to 'Active' and go to the 'Advanced' tab:

Enable 'none of strings should match'.


You should also use 'Ignore' option at first, so that you can check with
the dispatcher which messages are not being downloaded. If legitimate
messages are not being caught by the filter then you can enable the 'kill'
option.
