Thanks Tony. I had read the FAQ on whitelisting, but it seemed to miss the actual need for blackberry users. Blackberry users that want to use the desktop redirector need to watch a giving mailbox (or boxes) and that is the box that takes the synchronization messages, so short of having a rule that copies all mail to another box, whitelisting is the only answer I could think of.
That said, I have been having better luck with training, and seem to have got spambayes "hamming" my blackberry.net messages now. The timer issue works the other way, I need to slow down the blackberry, it seems to grab the spam from the inbox before spambayes kicks it into the spam folder. This happens even if I turn off background filtering or set the filter time to 0.0 seconds (if only I could set it to a negative number <grin> and filter the mail before it arrived).

You may be able to solve this by adjusting the timer values. In the SpamBayes Manager dialog, look at the Advanced tab, and try different timer values. The idea behind the background filtering is that SpamBayes waits for a certain period of time after Outlook tells it that there is new mail before processing it. The aim is to have SpamBayes run after all Outlook rules. =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
