 Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2003 8:24 pm Post subject: For all you popfile and MW users .... the patch is here |
|
|
Dear Friends,
There is a fantastic patch by Martin Geisler that works like a charm for Popfile, and from my view boosts performance of the parse engine by 100 since it allows checking for invalid HTML tags, so all words end up right in the corpus and not cut in pieces.
try the link
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=758482&group_id=63137&atid=502958
(sourceforge.net patches section /removing invalid tags patch)
I am delighted, and I suggest you try it, and keep your corpus free of those hated half words. 
JOhn

[snipped the set of instructions]
.... That's it! Remember that you will have to start the Web interface into POPFile and train it to be effective. You will also need to change the setup to suit your fancy. MailWasher can read the POPFile X field with a simple filter:
"The entire header" "Contains" "X-Text-Classification: spam"
Caveats and hints:
1) If you download a message more than once from MailWasher, it will show up twice in your history. Likewise, if you have your e-mail client configured to go through POPFile, and you download the message from MailWasher, and then your e-mail client, it will show up twice. This is not harmful, but please turn off the "Send statistics daily" option in the security tab, as it will skew the POPFile folks' statistics to look better than they actually are.
2) If a message is in the history more than once, and it is not correctly classified, you need only reclassify one copy of the message.
Let me know if you have trouble understanding these directions, and I'll try to clarify them. |
I'm having problems auto-starting POPFile when I initialize Windows. I use perl version method of auto-starting POPFile but I don't recall how I determined what to do. I must have either set it up myself or found directions elsewhere.
Currently I attempt to initiate POPFile via "Local User Run" using ...\POPFile\wperl.exe invoked with | Code: | | popfile.pl -pop3_toptoo 1 |
as parameters. POPFile will not initiate via this method but can be initiated via the shortcut "...\POPFile\wperl.exe popfile.pl -pop3_toptoo 1". Any idea why "Local User Run won't start POPFile but the shortcut will?

I attempted to automatically start POPFile using the NT srvany.exe reskit utility to no avail. Has anyone managed to automatically start POPFile upon login?

I'm starting POPfile through my Startup group. I have a shortcut that reads | Code: | | "C:\Program Files\POPFile\wperl.exe" popfile.pl "-pop3_toptoo 1" |
with Start In set to | Code: | | "C:\Program Files\POPFile" |
Haven't had any troubles with it...

I don't see why not. This filter runs as a proxy and since it's written in perl, I expect you could run it on a Linux/Unix system just as well. While Gary's hacks only apply to the Windows version, you probably wouldn't want to apply those since they are specific to MWP.
For a more informed view, you might want to check out the forums referenced at the POPFile site....

Has anyone tried (or successfully) installed the new 0.19.1 version of POPfile? I tried a few days ago, did the MW hack again and everything just went kaboom.
MW wasn't able to retrieve mail anymore, although my regular client was. Seems that either they changed something around in regard to retrieving mail, or I messed up - probably a combination of both 
So, did anyone get it working, and then I look at Gary in particular since he came up with the hack in the first place.

I was wondering whether to upgrade but suspected there might be a problem since Gary's hack isn't exactly supported. Also, I haven't checked out what I'd gain by upgrading. What does version 19.1 provide that 19.0 doesn't?

Egad! I've been pretty busy with work and some other things lately, so I haven't really kept up. I'll try to take a look at it within the next few days. Sorry about falling behind, guys.
Oops, update - I just installed 0.19.1, and found that instead of modifying line 337, you should modify line 338. The rest is the same, and it seems to work fine. What is the error message that you are receiving?
I'll update the hack instructions to reflect the proper lines and verion number soon.

Gary,
Seems I was a bit too tired when I tried hacking 0.19.1 last time. I just applied your hacks again and now they seem to work fine. My mistake!
Ikeb,
In regard to your question about upgrading : 0.19.1 is a maintenance release, nothing more or less. The following has been fixed (source : POPfile readme file)
THE GORY DETAILS FOR v0.18.3 and v0.19.1
1. Fixed a bug causing long message download to fail.
Reports: 753940 (mfichtner) (fixed by sschinke)
2. Provided a workaround for incompatibilties caused by odd HTTP headers from Norton Internet Security.
Reports: Many (fixed by jgrahamc)
3. Fixed a case that could prevent delivery of email
Reports: Via forums and email. (fixed by sschinke)

Hi. I'm a latecomer to this thread--I found it by searching.
I'm one of the original users of Mailwasher, but haven't used it for a long time. However, I have been using POPFile for some time.
I received a Mailwasher update notification today and wondered what's been happening with it, which led me here.
I skimmed through this thread, and it definitely looks like something I'd like to try. However, it looks as though there have been several additions and corrections to Gary's originally posted procedure. Gary, have you had a chance to post this on your Web page yet? If not, is there someone else where I can get a currently working procedure for accomplishing this, without having to wade through all the messages?
Thanks very much.

MagicSpeller,
According to Gary, he modified his original post to reflect the latest "version" of his hack. In all this long thread there was only a single change he made (posted Tue Jun 17, 2003 3:14 pm) to correct a problem.

My apologies, I've not yet reflected the small change in the original post necessary to get the hack working with the latest version of POPFile, but the difference is only the placement of one line, which can be easily determined by looking at the surrounding code. As I recall, the issue was that the line number for the second hack needed to be changed to the next line, or something - no biggie.

Thanks, Ikester and Gary.
With all the discussion and suggestions, I was sure there would be more than one change required (which I did see). Guess it's time to get to work .
Wish I could figure out how to print the first page of the thread without having the right end cut off....

Whoops, I forgot about the latest change (adjusting the line number that's modified). Gary, the post I was referring to was to fix a problem where an email would sometimes not be read:

Okay guys, give this a try. This is a quick hack, and I've only tested it enough to make sure the system does not blow up, but it may do what you want.
For line 268 in POP3.pm, use:
| Code: | | if ( ($2 ne '99999999') && ($2 < 100) ) { |
For line 337 in POP3.pm, use:
| Code: | | if ( ( $command =~ /RETR (.*)/i ) || ( $command =~ /TOP (.*) (.*)/i ) ) { |
The effect will be that any TOP request of 100 lines or more will show up in the history, and all TOP requests will be echoed to the log and/or to the window that you are running POPFile in.
TalonTSi, note that I finally figured out how to post code. You, uh, use the "Code" attribute.  |

Try pasting it into Word. I often do so for web pages I want to keep.
