RE: [Nolug] not exactly Linux but...

True, this helps with our clients and I have other filters on the gateway
for the random word crap. I would like something that will check the
spelling of email and if it's greater than 20% misspelled jump up the spam
score.

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.
