At a guess, PC Cillin uses some sort of proxy, so you'll have to chain the proxies together. FAQ 5.4 talks about this: <http://spambayes.org/faq.html#i-already-have-a-pop3-proxy-so-how-can-i-use- sb-server> > it just occurred to me to question why "localhost" should be > entered at all as the SMTP (outgoing) server since Spaybayes > is only concerned with incoming mail. You only need to use the SpamBayes SMTP proxy if you want to train via forwarding messages to SpamBayes. If you train via the review page on the web interface, then you shouldn't enter anything in the SMTP options in the configuration page, and you should leave the SMTP server in your mail client alone. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) 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
