Sure. <http://tehran.lain.pl/stuff/sa/w_popular.cf>
Masscheck results: <http://tehran.lain.pl/stuff/sa/w_popular.txt>

And thingees I use for generating the list:

A patch for mimedump at <http://tehran.lain.pl/stuff/mimedump.diff>
A procmailrc: <http://tehran.lain.pl/stuff/procmailrc-spamtrap>
A script that does the thing: <http://tehran.lain.pl/stuff/spamwords>

Although the method is very crude, it produces virtually no false
positives. Check the masscheck results!

It requires no maintenance, neither from lusers nor from me. The
maintenance was a hassle big enough for me not to use Bayes.

If I only had a decent amount of spam, I could do wonders with this
little thingee.
