Interesting. However, I would first take a look at the kinds of spam that are
getting through. If it's the nonsensical kind (e.g. "Butter dump fighting red
cauliflower snivelling sugar."), then bayesian filtering will fail. The
nonsensical spam is an attack against bayesian statistical analysis, and
attempts to poison the filtering engine's database with trash data.
