Open Source Spam filter for Outlook

Spambays for Windows

The Outlook addin is an application of the SpamBayes project. To our knowledge, the current version of the plug-in should work with Windows 98 and above and Outlook 2000 or above. You may be able to get the plug-in to work with Windows 95 if you install the most recent version of Internet Explorer possible, but we are not certain about this. It does not work with Outlook Express - see below for other options.
In general, you should download and install the latest version, as shown above. Older versions and the release notes can be viewed at the SpamBayes releases page.
If you have a problem, the best way to help make progress is to look for a similar existing bug report and add any useful information you may have, or to open a new bug report if your problem seems to be a new one. Please be sure to go through the troubleshooting.html file that is installed with the plugin.

Installing the Outlook Client From Source

If the Outlook binary doesn't work for you, you can install from source. To do this, you will need three pieces of software:
  1. The Python installer, available from the download page of the Python website. You should choose the latest stable release (that is, the latest release with no letters in its version).
  2. Mark Hammond's pywin32 extensions. Choose the version which corresponds to the version of Python you downloaded.
  3. The SpamBayes source, either as a zip file or via Subversion. The zip file will probably be easier to handle, but there may be improvements to the code which make the Subversion version a viable option (though you will have to have a Subversion client for Windows installed).
Once you have all three bits downloaded, run the Python installer then the pywin32 installer. Finally, double-click the addin.py script in the Outlook2000 folder of the SpamBayes distribution and you should be good to go. See the README.txt file in the Outlook2000 directory for more details.

Open Source Solutions

Open source solutions are relay cool to use against paid ones. As a IT manager i'm successfully running my company's total infrastructure using open source technologies. Almost for all business needs there is an open source technology solutions. It is better then a proprietary software because these software are from multiple brain regardless of geographical limits. But currently the major proprietary vendor claims that "opens source is a bleeding end technology" and "there is no proper support". But I can say it is not bleeding edge in other way the software is ever growing. and you all know that lot of forums give open source technology supports. Even you get faster response then the paid ones. in forthcoming posts u can find lots of open source implementation stuff. so i ask you all to make this blog successful. Thank you.
