23 Bayesian Filtering /rocks/! I've written a Bayesian spam filter for
24 SquirrelMail based on the article you mention further down, and it's great.
25 I don't see the spam on mailing lists anymore, because the filter catches it
26 and filters it to another folder. Too bad I still get to see everyone
27 talking about how much spam sucks. ;)
