> I'm confused about localhost 110 vs localhost 8880. "localhost" means your machine. 110 and 8880 are two different (software) ports - SpamBayes uses port 110 to host the POP3 proxy, and port 8880 to host the web interface. So connecting to your machine (localhost) on port 110 will (should!) get you to the POP3 proxy, and connecting to your machine (localhost) on port 8880 will get your to the web interface. The majority of the various items in the Tray application just open up a browser window to the appropriate localhost:8880 address.

Is that definitely correct? (I can find lepton.neu.edu, but not pop3.lepton.neu.edu, so maybe it should be that?). Otherwise I'm guessing that there's something special about that address (only machines where you are can get to it, or there's a special lookup for it on your machine). Try using lepton.neu.edu instead of pop3.lepton.neu.edu in the SpamBayes configuration, and see if that works. If not, try using the IP address instead: 1. Open a command prompt (e.g Start->Run->cmd.exe) 2. Type ping pop3.lepton.neu.edu The IP address will be in the response looking like "Pinging pop.ihug.co.nz [203.109.252.42]" (the bit you want is the 203.109.252.42 bit. Try using that instead of pop3.lepton.neu.edu in the SpamBayes configuration. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list ([email protected]) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
