Deb, You are training through the web interface and displaying mail in Incredimail. You've selected the right package and it sounds like you are training. The next step is to get your email client to move messages out of your inbox. The Spambayes software sees your messages before the email client, then classifies each message and tags it. If you can see messages in the web interface with classifications, this is already happening. The classifier result is attached to each message either as a visible notation in the message subject or as a not so visible notation by creating a special header. Which you choose depends on the filtering rule capabilities of your email client, and I couldn't tell from Incredimail's online documentation which is appropriate. I believe that you can select between these two options in the web interface, though the online documentation at SourceForge is not visible as I write this so I can't give you specifics on that either :) Once you select the tagging method, you need to write a rule or two in Incredimail to move spam into a spam folder and unsure messages into an unsure folder. -- Seth Goodman _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
