Statisticlly using DSPAM and then using SA with its results will make it
alot worse that just using DSPAM

SA gets ~95% correct, but DSPAM can get more like 99.995% correct after a
while.. Heurestuc Spam systems such as SA (yes HA bas bayesium stuff, but
its crap in its accuracy)) need constant updateing with new rules.
Stastistic systems such as DSPAM/Death2Spam etc just work.

I've love to see anything that will do better than DSPAM on the market (Free
or Commercial)
Any Anti-Spam people companies out there on this list want to compare it
with DSPAM?

Thanks
