I see spambayes mentioned here a lot, and I've heard good things elsewhere. I decided to try it yesterday, and had a similar result on two different machines. I have tried to post for help on their list but there's almost no traffic there, so I wonder if anyone has a short answer for my issue.
I installed the pop3 method, and changed my server to localhost in Thunderbird for pop3. I followed the various instructions to install the python scripts, and all went well. When the configuration page came up I took all the defaults except for putting in my pop3 info - I left the port at 110 since I was only checking one server. Immediately, things started working perfectly, and my spam was getting labeled properly. I set up the filter in Thunderbird to move the spambayes marked spam to a separate folder.
All was well.
Then, I closed the configuration page. Now, the pop3 proxy has shut down, and when I try to reopen the configuration page http://localhost:8880 I get an error 'can't connect' message. I've read through dozens of messages in the spambayes list archive, but none of them really deal with this specific issue. Does someone know of other resources for help, or do you know the short answer to what I did wrong?

I seem to talk to myself a lot on this list, lately. But, perhaps this will help the next person. Shutting down the configuration window with the save and close command also shuts down the python spambayes server. I finally did get a very kind reply on the Spambayes list on this. Even then, it wasn't completely evident how to restart it. A quick look at man python got me going.
