Spam gets forwarded to Mailclient, but no trace in Spami

Beitragvon Quellcore » 23. Feb 2009, 07:12

IMPORTANT:
###########################################################
This thread is only important for situations where mails get forwarded to the mailclient without any trace of these mails in the training area.

If these missclassified mails also appear in the training area you have a different scenario and might not be able fix the false negatives by working your way through this list.
###########################################################

Work your way through this list, you'll pretty likely be done after "Point 2 Friendslist".
  1. Account
    account on which you receive that mail is not configured to work through Spamihilator.
    Please see the Spami-Wiki how to adjust the account settings in your mailclient accordingly.
  2. Friendslist
    (fake) Sender of that mail is on your firends list while ""Automatically learn from messages from my friends" is activated.
    This is the most likely reason in most of the cases.
    Spammers pretty often use your own mail adress as a fake sender ("From:" Field in the Mailheader)
    As a result of this you shouldn't put your own mailadress(es) on the friendslist within Spami :!:
    Please make sure to also check for wildcard-entries in the friendslist that match one of your own adresses.
  3. Newsletter-Plugin
    You've put your own mailadress in the section "Newsgroups" within the Newsletter-Plugin while "Don't store Newsletters in the Trainings Area" is activated.
    See the Spami-Wiki for further information.
  4. Unknown Plugin
    In theory Spami's plugin architecture allows every plugin to decide whether a copy of a classified (Spam or Non-Spam) mail should be created in Spami's Training Area or not.
    The Newsletter-Plugin is the only Filter/Plugin where the user can actually manipulate this behaviour to not create a copy of a Non-Spam mail in the Training Area.
    Up to this day i have not heard of any other Filter/Plugin that does that, but in theory it would be possible. Maybe you even wrote your own little plugin that uses this feature and never told anybody else about this great achievement.

If you still can't figure out why Spam gets transfered to your mailclient without showing up in the Training Area enable filter logging within Spamihilator.
The easiest way to do this is to install Bob's Filter Statistics v1.1.1 and enable filter logging in the plugin's settings.

If for whatever reason you don't want to install this plugin (you should, though ;-) ) you can enable filter logging manually:
http://www.spamihilator.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=36751#p36751

After a restart Spami will log all filtering. This is done for every mail that reaches Spami and includes the reason (e.g. Friend, Blocked Sender, Plugin BlaBlaBla)
Depending on the Spami version and the installation method this file called filter.log might be in Spami's installation folder or in the USER-Folder. It will be created when the first new mail is received by Spami, so if you didn't receive any new mails through Spami don't panic that you can't find that file.

Hi
I resently reinstalled PC and upgraded office. Not Spamihilator doesn't show mails.
This above solution does not work for me. Office does not work if you change user.
Spamihilator works great with office XP but not with office 2003.
Tried change all kind of settings. In addition I have Windows XP.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I would love continue to use Spamihilator.
Thanks
Chlala

Thanks for your input but as I wrote earlier my Outlook 2003 does not allow to change the user to pop3server&username[&port]. If anyone knows a Outlook 2003 where it works please let me know how.

As for the other links, I did try some of it, but I think I'll just give up now since I already spend a lot of time trying to fix it. I know it will work if I go back to Office XP (it has been for years) but I don't want to downgrade.

Hallo Chlala!

I can not understand the problem :? Spami works fine, together with Outlook 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007 and other versions like Thunderbird and Co.. Do you have the full rights on your system?

Hello Chlala!

I'm afraid I can't help you more. Your answer to Anbuvas clue is far too short to be helpful in thinking forward. Apparently, the problem lies in your Office installation. Usually, you should be able to change your account settings in Outlook, except you miss the needed user rights or you have another deeper problem over there.
