I note that on the page
    http://slett.net/spam-filtering-for-mx/x519.html
you say: "Bayesian Filters. These require training before they are useful"


This is not the case: SpamAssassin in auto-learn mode and without
additional training is better than plain SpamAssassin, so is suitable for
an unsupervised site-wide installation without per-user configuration.

I thoroughly recommend the following paper for a very thorough analysis of
the leading open-source anti-spam software.
