Agreed. There are better bayesian engines than SA, but after a lot of months
of pain, we decided to eliminate bayesian filtering altogether.
Not only is in incredibly resource-intensive and demands you buy better disks
and such for your servers to handle the load, but even the best bayesian
engines can only offer 98-99% accuracy with proper training (in the real
world, with lazy users, 80% was about tops), which isn't enough, and leaves
the users having to dig through a pile of spam all the time anyways, which in
my book, defeats the whole purpose of filtering it in the first place.
Bayesian - neat theory, bad reality. Now, what am I supposed to do with all
these 15kRPM SCSI disks? ;-)
