Category: Outlook Group: 1.0.1 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: the-moog (the-moog) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Spambayes can INCREASE spam - change required Initial Comment: Hi, Spambayes defaults to scanning one folder for incomming email, usually 'inbox', then moving that email to a different folder if it is detected as spam - as we all know, this works very well. If you have auto-preview turned on, then the email is moved AFTER the preview, meaning that any embedded HTML in the email is processed. This email can make a connection to a remove server, effectively authenticating the email address as valid for the spammer. The solutuion should be to change the way Spambayes filters email in outlook, either by using a temporary inbox and email rules, or by disabling HTML or auto-preview before the email is checked. Since installing spambayes my daily quantity of spam has doubled!!

It also doesn't open any messages in the preview pane (that's for human users, not machines that can access the message directly). You can even see this - open the Inbox and watch it while mail is processed - it arrives in the Inbox and after the background filtering delay SpamBayes processes it - ham is given a score and stays where is is, and unsure/spam is scored and move out. The preview pane will never change from the original message. It is fairly certain that the increase in spam is unrelated to SpamBayes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1113106&group_id=61702 _______________________________________________ Spambayes-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes-bugs
