SpamBayes anti-spam

I have a lot of trouble with this too. I have tried addinng
the outlook administrator mail box to my monitored folders
as all that ever gets into there is spam to departed
collegues. Everthing in there is from system administrator
to whoever@our.address with the original subject. SpamBayes
refuses to look at any of it. These are obviously "special
items" as they open differently in outlook, but the subject
lines usually contain obvious spam pointers.

It would be nice if the filter could be told to handle
special messages in certain folders.

None that I know of, unfortunately. This was an oddball, but
since it happened with no other (apparent) external cause
and was repeatable, I submitted the bug report. AFAIK, this
message was received the same as all my others: through
POP3 (simple auth) queried every five minutes. Though this is
probably not terribly relevant, my setup is:

Win2K SP4
Outlook2K SP3
Kaspersky AV 4.5
BlackICE Defender 3.6cbz
BOClean 4.11
AdAware Plus 6.181
Cisco 827 Router/DSL Modem
1.5Mbps DSL connection

From what I can tell, Kaspersky AV grabs port 110 traffic
directly from the TCP socket and proxies it back to the
application level (somehow with the same port number).
Since there was no virus associated with this message, I
don't think that's relevant either.

Thanks for the props Tony. I can't see a good way around
this though, unless we drop the restriction completely,
which I think would be bad. Seth - how many other messages
have you seen this happen with?

It's clueless, but I forgive you &lt;wink&gt;. MAPI isn't how
Outlook gets the messages (I suspect you're thinking of
IMAP), but a way to communicate with Outlook. The props
attachment is basically the information that Outlook stores
about that message. The problem is determining whether a
message was received, or created by the user (in which case
it's not filterable). The current theory is that it needs
to have one of two properties, and your message has
neither. Mark may need a new theory ;)

The &quot;Tony Meyer&quot; stuff coems about because Outlook must
have modified it a bit when I dragged it into the inbox (I
suppose I did place it on an exchange server). Not enough
to change the non-filterable status, but enough to
contaminate it a bit. And yes, I'm at Massey University in
NZ - the Auckland campus, though, not the Palmerston North
(or Wellington) ones.

I don't know the source code, so forgive the following
comment if it's clueless. This message was downloaded via
POP3, as neither of my ISP's supports MAPI. Since Outlook
deals with POP3 and MAPI, I have no idea if it internally
changes all messages as MAPI with the POP3 ones having
limited properties as they don't exist as copies in remote
directories.

BTW, what's all the Tony Meyer stuff in the headers of the
Seal_Props.txt file? Are you at the University of Massey
in NZ? Friends of mine lived there a few years ago, liked
it a lot.

It fails the &quot;was received test&quot; (i.e. there doesn't appear
to be PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS_A or
PR_RECEIVED_BY_ENTRYID). I've attached a dump_props, but
this reaches the limit of my MAPI understanding ;)

I downloaded the msg and dragged it from Explorer into an
Outlook folder. I can confirm that the Outlook addin doesn't
believe it's filterable, but don't know why not. The only new
entry in the log file is

ERROR: 'No filterable mail items are selected'

after I select it and try to do the &quot;show spam clues&quot; bit.

It was a regular email message sent to me by a regular
correspondent. After deleting the two zip files attached, it
still won't filter, so I have attached the bare message for you
exported in Outlook 2000 .msg format, whatever that is.
Though Outlook shows the message as 3K in size, the
exported .msg file is 15.5K. Hopefully, you can import it and
end up with the same message that I have inside Outlook.

Is the message a non-delivery report of any kind? Or was it
originally created by you? If so, it is &quot;by design&quot;.
Otherwise, you will probably find it still fails without the
.zip attachments - try deleting them, trying again, and if
it still fails, attach the smaller message. If all else
fails, mailing to me is fine.

Apparently I can't attach the file, as it is larger than the SF
limit. I will email anyone the file who asks for it.
