Re: [Spambayes] exchange "problems"

[Coe, Bob]

When that happens, be sure to filter the inbox again. Spambayes leaves spam in my inbox rather often. But when it leaves a lot (sometimes fifty messages or more), filtering again often sweeps up most of it. It appears that under some circumstances Spambayes just quits filtering, but the retry proves that failure to recognize the messages as spam isn't the problem. This may or may not be related to the timing problems that motivated the addition of the "background filtering" feature, but it has been very persistent through several versions of Spambayes. It doesn't get worse from version to version, but it doesn't get better either.   I use Spambayes with Exchange at work and with a POP3 server at home. Most of the failure to filter occurs with the POP3 server, but that may just be because a server-side spam filter vacuums up most of our incoming spam at work before Exchange (or Spambayes) ever sees it.

About 12 months ago I got a new laptop with XP Pro and Outlook 2003. I initially used the Outlook built in spam filtering but the darned product just did not work. I get about 150 spams per day and it’s critical that I don’t miss any ham – the Outlook product let me down so I went back to SpamBayes.   Its all been running perfectly for about 10 months – I NEVER get spam in my Inbox and usually have 4 or 5 Junk Suspects. A few weeks ago I configured Outlook to connect to exchange over my new VPN and started getting spam in my Inbox.  I changed SpamBayes configuration to enable Background Filtering and have Process Start Delay of 1.5 secs and Delay of .5 secs configured. I am still getting spam in my Inbox. The stats for today are;   SpamBayes processed 130 messages – 13 (10%) good, 104 (80%) spam and 13 (10%) unsure 1 message was manually classified as good (with 0 being false positives) 75 messages were manually classified as being spam   Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to get SpamBayes to behave?   Thanks!
