I gave up on spambayes. It was letting too much spam through. At one
time, it was batting 100, but I guess the spammers got smarter or
something.
I'm using a gmail account now forwarded to a private (secret) inbox
that my outlook pulls down.
As spammers change tactics, there may be a small window where new spam
gets through, but that is quickly shut with a little training.
SpamBayes still gets 95+% of spam coming into our network - impressive
considering all the messages that only have an image embedded or contain
many lines of hidden, gibberish text.
Although it may be common knowledge here, I have never seen this
mentioned. I tested sb_server on a Win7 Pro 64 bit system to see if it
functioned. I can report the Windows1.1a6 binary installed and
functioned quite well. If you want to run as a service you must do
"runas administrator" when loading the command prompt box for issuing
the "sb_service.exe -install" command; otherwise it is fairly standard.
The only issue I had was when configuring via the web interface. It
would save any changes, but always complained with the following:
500 Server error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "spambayes\Dibbler.pyo", line 476, in found_terminator
File "spambayes\UserInterface.pyo", line 883, in onChangeopts
File "spambayes\ProxyUI.pyo", line 569, in reReadOptions
File "sb_server.pyo", line 981, in _recreateState
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'state' referenced before assignment
Messages like these could scare away the timid, but they do not seem to
hinder functionality.
So, individuals who insist on using Outlook, could use sb_server like
the rest of us, if SpamBayes is essential to them.
Please continue the project.
