NAME¶
sb_server - The primary server for SpamBayes.
DESCRIPTION¶
Currently serves the web interface, and any configured POP3 and SMTP proxies.
The POP3 proxy works with classifier.py, and adds a simple
X-Spambayes-Classification header (ham/spam/unsure) to each incoming email.
You point the proxy at your POP3 server, and configure your email client to
collect mail from the proxy then filter on the added header. Usage:
- sb_server.py [options] [<server> [<server port>]]
- <server> is the name of your real POP3 server <port> is the
port number of your real POP3 server, which
- defaults to 110.
- options:
- -h
- : Displays this help message.
- -d FILE : use the named DBM database file -p FILE : the the
named Pickle database file -l port : proxy listens on this port
number (default 110) -u port : User interface listens on this port
number
- (default 8880; Browse http://localhost:8880/)
- -b
- : Launch a web browser showing the user interface.
- -o section:option:value :
- set [section, option] in the options database to value
- All command line arguments and switches take their default values from the
[pop3proxy] and [html_ui] sections of bayescustomize.ini.
For safety, and to help debugging, the whole POP3 conversation is written out to
_pop3proxy.log for each run, if options["globals",
"verbose"] is True.
To make rebuilding the database easier, uploaded messages are appended to
_pop3proxyham.mbox and _pop3proxyspam.mbox.
