Installation difficulties / SuSE/KMail/IMAP

Please, help!

I am at loss with installing spambayes. I have tried to get 
it installed innumerable hours in two weeks. Sigh...

OS: SuSE Linux, version 8.2 Personal. 
IMAP protocol (kolumbus.fi)
Python 2.3.2 (#1, Oct 23 2003, 00:59:25) 
[GCC 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)] on linux2
Spambayes-1.0a6
Mail programme: KMail

1. I downloaded spambayes-1.0a6.1.tar.gz and detarred it in 
directory /downloads/spambayes-1.0a6 as root.

2. In that directory I run ./setup.py install. Thereafter I 
deleted the directory in question, again as root. 

3. I opened X window as marttila and run 
'/usr/local/bin/sb_imapfilter.py -b' 
with the following result message:

--<snip>--

SpamBayes IMAP Filter Beta1, version 0.1 (September 2003),
using SpamBayes IMAP Filter Web Interface Alpha2, version 
0.02 and engine SpamBayes Beta2, version 0.2 (July 2003).

You do not have a dbm module available to use.  
You need to either use a pickle (see the FAQ), use Python 

Re: Installation difficulties / SuSE/KMail/IMAP

Try typing "python -V" at a command prompt.  You may have two versions of 
python on your machine and could be picking up an older one in the path.

Sending on smtp proxy with Evolution

I am a spam bayes newbie.

Using:
  Redhat Linux 9
  Evolution mail client
  Earthlink ISP

I set up the pop3 proxy easily.   It does not do any spam catching yet but I have not yet 'trained' it.

The smpt proxy is the problem:

0. I set up the smtp outbound proxy for localhost:9002 then configured Evolution to use
localhost:9002 as the sending mail server instead of mail.earthlink.net.

The mail is not able to be sent - -I am guessing because mail.earthlink.net requires authentication
in order to send mail.   How do I configure the proxy to use authentication ?

Oddly, the pop3 proxy, which also requires authentication seems to work fine (!?)

Once I solve this I can start training spam bayes by sending mail to the spam address  <at>  localhost.

ps -- what is 'ham' ?  I read about it in several places but did not see a hyperlink or definition to explain what
it is.

Thanks,
john bailo

Addin does not load - Buttons Not Removed With

Hello from Colorado,

I have the almost the exact same problem that you sent in. The difference is
that I somehow did manage to get rid of the Spambayes icons in my Outlook
window by accidentally clicking around in the area of the icons as sown
below. I thought I was changing from the inbox to the Sent box when all of
the Spambayes related icons disappeared including those under the Folder
List section!

After removing every trace of SpamBayes that I could locate, I have
subsequently tried several times to reinstall Spambayes with no success.

Did you ever get a useful response to your posting? Is so, I’d love to see
the answer.

Thanks,
            Jim Haines.

problem when starting outlook after the first time starting after installation

Hi,

When I first installed SpamBayes, it ran correctly the first time.  I
trained it.  It worked well.  The next time I started Outlook (shutdown
properly), it asked if I wanted to disable the plug-in or continue with
it not work.  When I choose to continue, Outlook crashes.  It fails in
the following DLL: shlwapi.dll, ModVer: 6.0.3790.0.

I am running SpamBayes 008.1 and Outlook 10.0.2627.1.

Below is the copy of the SpamBaye logs.

Sincerely,

Brian Kiefer

using external DNSBL's with Outlook

Even though the FAQ clearly states that *ideally*, DNSBL's are done at the
server level, many of us are stuck with ISP's who do little, if any of this.
Personally, I would prefer SMTP rejects at the server for MX's listed on
selected DNSBL's, but since I don't run my own mail server, I don't have
this option.  Therefore, I have taken to using a POP3 proxy to check several
external DNSBL's and filter based on the results.  When there is a hit on an
external list, the POP3 proxy adds an "X-" type header line to identify the
source of the hit.  I then have an Outlook rule that filters on that header
line and moves the message to the spam folder.

I would like to figure out a way to best use this added information along
with SpamBayes.  As I don't know how the SpamBayes Outlook plug-in fits into
the hierarchy of POP3 email processing, it is hard for me to figure out what
to do.  Before installing SpamBayes, my POP3 email went through the
following processing hierarchy (as far as I know):

1) anti-virus filters email coming in on port 110
2) POP3 proxy checks header IP addresses against external DNSBL's
3) Outlook2000 processes message rules

The FAQ talks about a POP3 proxy component, but I don't think this applies
to the Outlook plug-in.  How does the SpamBayes Outlook plug-in fit in with
the above processing hierarchy?  When exactly does SpamBayes get to work on
a message?  There is some mention in the FAQ about "fighting" between
SpamBayes and the Outlook rule processing, and suggests that the background
filtering option will fix this.  How does the background filtering option
affect the processing order?  What point in time are the processing delays
in the control panel for background processing referenced to?

There is also mention in the FAQ about an "incremental" training mode where
