Jim Kash laments :-

Jim and others who are plagued by spam. There are a number of spam
filters that use a device called a Bayesian filter. This seems to
be very good at spotting spam.

A good free implementation of this can be found at :-

http://popfile.sourceforge.net/

The typical results obtained with this are 98% spam filtered
100% non-spam (sometimes called ham) passed

Have fun
