Good Morning Forum,

After installing (fresh install - I did have an old 1.x version which I first uninstalled, including manual registry cleanup) SpamFilter 2.0.1.302 I get this message when starting:

07-17-04 12:32:04:329 -- SpamFilter ISP v2.0.1.302 Listening on all IPs port 25
07-17-04 12:32:05:340 -- Starting to process queue directory...
07-17-04 12:32:05:360 -- Begin Sync Corpus.db
07-17-04 12:32:05:360 -- Begin Cleanup of Corpus.db
07-17-04 12:32:05:360 -- Exception occurred during CleanCorpus: '0.4' is not a valid floating point value

I noticed that someone has had the problem before - but there was never any solution posted in the forum. Any ideas anyone?

This appears immediately when starting (nonservice) Spamfilter for the first time, before any settings are made - and any time thereafter (seems to happen no matter what settings I make).

If I go to SETTINGS - BAYESIAN UTILITES and click on "Dump Corpus" - I get an access violation:

Access violation at address 00591ACF in module 'Spamfilter.exe'. Read of address 00000008.

The only registry Spamfilter settings I didn't manage to remove from the old installation was the LEGACY_SPAMFILTER ones.

The folder "Corpus" contains a) an empty subfolder "queue" and b) a corpus.ini file with this content:

[Messages]
Spam=1
Good=1

And that is it, nothing else.

So - does this mean that Spamfilter works - but before being "trained" it will read non-existing files etc and create exceptions? Or is it more serious?

Hi!

Well I have actually tried that before - and it doesn't help. As I described - the problem occurs with a totally clean install of Spamfilter - so there isn't anything in the corpus directory that could be corrupt. As described before - there is only one empty folder (queue) and a very simple .ini file.

Currently there are a number of .token files but the error still appears. If I remove the corpus directory, a new will be created with the empty queue etc - and the error is there again.

Hi - OK, I've done that (which is exactly what I described before).

No such files are created. Only an empty folder "Queue" and the previously mentioned ini file is created inside the new "Corpus" folder.

There are also a lot of exceptions in the log file - apart from the one mentioned before, these seem to occur after SpamFilter has been running for a while, they typically look like:

08-06-04 00:13:34:142 -- Exception occurred during TimerMinuteTimer: Invalid pointer operation

SpamFilter seems to work, except for the Bayesian bit which I suspect is not working at all.

I've posted the entire Spamfilter folder to your support, this message is only here as a reference for others with possibly similar problems.

Best from,

Carl
