Easily install the SpamBayes proxy server
Authored by: Isbiten on Feb 26, '04 01:41:59PM

How do I get Mail to use it?

POP3 proxy running on 7832, proxying to m1.300.telia.com:110.

Using incoming server as 127.0.0.1:7832 don't work...

Easily install the SpamBayes proxy server
Authored by: nihil on Feb 26, '04 04:13:17PM

I got it to work here, with a bit of tweaking. Not too hard:

- I don't think you need to turn on a proxy for mail in your Network settings. But just to be sure I set it to 127.0.0.1, and left the port blanco.

- you need to set SpamBayes to your pop accounts. Just point your browser to http://localhost:8880, go to the configuration page, and fill in your pop3 server(s), seperated with commas if you need more.

- next you need to define the local ports on which you will contact SpamBayes to check these servers. So, in the second field, enter (a) unique portnumber(s) (I used 8881 and 8882). Use as many ports as you use pop servers.

- You may want to turn on or off a few options (esp. the 'Notate to header' options). After you're done, press Save at the bottom.

- Next, in your Mail account(s), set the Incoming Mail Server to 127.0.0.1, and (on the advanced tab) set the port to the one that 'fits' with the server (in my case 8881 and 8882).

- done! Now Mail will be stored by Spambayes, and it is ready to receive your training. Fiddle with http://localhost:8880 for that :)

HTH
