NB: It's Bayesian, because many of them are based on Bayes' Theorem
regarding probabilities. (You spelled it correctly later).

Of course, some of them are called Bayesian even though they don't use
that Theorem directly. Also, a non-Bayesian learning filter is integrated
into the latest Opera 7.5 beta mail client (M2). However, M2 needs a
little maturity before it'll fit everybody. Also, it's not available
stand-alone but you can hack it (google for "hugin munin").

Mine never got that bad, but I do get more spam than mail. :(

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Even using my ISP's spam filter, I just
had to delete two-thirds of the messages waiting for me this morning due
to either being adverts or MyDooms :( Until this epidemic is over, I've
taken to telnetting to my ISP to delete them on the server so I won't fill
up my bandwidth allowance with them...
